Ares

Ares is one of only two terrestrial bodies in the Tau Ceti system with liquid water on its surface (the other being Tau Ceti III: Boreas). Its low escape velocity would normally leak its oxygen-rich atmosphere, but the moon travels well within Zeus' magnetosphere, and thus retains its atmosphere. While not as warm as its neighbor, Olympia, it's carbon dioxide combined with water vapor makes the moon suitable for human life.
