A T-Tauri class star (sometimes seen T Tauri) is one in the earliest phase of its lifespan. Shortly before initiating nuclear fusion within its core, the burgeoning protostar undergoes a period of severe fluctuation (known as the T-Tauri phase). This is categorised by strong solar winds, and intense X-ray and radio emission. The type is named for the first discovered star of this type, seen from Earth as part of the Taurus constellation.

In 2367, the USS Enterprise-D discovered a T-Tauri star system near the Ngame Nebula. The system had one planet, a frozen gas giant similar to Tethys III, and a small, unstable wormhole that flung the vessel 0.54 parsecs from the system as it approached. Such phenomena are not uncommon in T-Tauri systems - thirty-nine had been observed since 2267 - and a hazard advisory was sent to Starfleet Command as a result of the incident. (TNG: "Clues")

The system in reality contained a class-M planet inhabited by the Paxans. However, Captain Picard and the Enterprise crew made sure to alter or erase all records concerning the true nature of the planet.
