Couple things.

Tau Ceti is the nearest sun-like star to Earth at 12 Lightyears, opposed to Tau Centauri at 121 lightyears. Tau Ceti seems more likely to me. Besides the crewman entry merely states "Tau" as does the Operator's dialague.

and also the Operator doesn't state that they studied on Tau (it's a star so that would be... unpleasnt XD) but rather that they were studying about Tau on board the Zarimanbefore the void jump accident on the jump between Saturn and the Outer Gates (the Outer Terminus at Pluto). This also happened long before the Sentient became a threat, as the Orokin went back and used the Tenno as a last resort against the Sentient during the war but the Tenno were stated to have existed during the 'Void Era' before the war. its possible that the Tenno and the Sentient were even created around the same time, as the sentient were created as a way to bridge the gap to the Tau system and prepare it for humanity to eventually inhabit the world.
