T’Kuht is a sister world to the planet Vulcan, locked into a tidal orbit causing the planets to circle one another in a very close pattern. T'Kuht has been known since Vulcan antiquity and was named “the Watcher” by ancient Vulcans. T’Kuht is best visible from Vulcan’s Forge, where the planet fills most of the sky.

By the twentieth century, a handful of small settlements existed on T’Kuht. Mostly connected to extraction of the planet’s minerals and other raw materials. A geothermic power station was established at T’Kuht’s largest lava geyser in 2107. As of the twenty second century, T’Kuht also hosts a single military outpost of the Vulcan High Command and a science outpost operated by the Vulcan Science Ministry.
