Dedestris
Delta Quadrant planet. Dedestris exported a very delicate fabric that was spun from the petals of a flower that bloomed only in moonlight. At a market on Sikaris, the material caught Captain Janeway‘s eye, and she let the Sikarians talk her into accepting a scarf made from it.[1]

Planet, Class-Y
Tholia (STSC)
Demon. Age ranged from 2-10 billion years. Diameter was 10,000 to 50,000 km. Typically located in the Hot Zone, Ecosphere, or Cold Zone of a planetary system. Surface temperatures could exceed 500°K. Atmosphere was turbulent, and saturated with toxic chemicals and thermionic radiation. May have contained mimetic or crystalline-based life forms. Classes X, Y, and Z were reserved for planets with environments particularly hostile to humanoid life.[1]

Planet, Class-M
Earth (ENT-78)
Vulcan (TOS-34)
Terrestrial. Age ranged from 3-10 billion years. Diameter was 10,000 to 15,000 km. Typically located in the Ecosphere of a planetary system. Surface water was abundant; if water or ice covered more than 80% of the surface, the planet was considered Class O or Class P. Atmosphere was primarily primarily nitrogen, oxygen, and trace elements. Contained extensive vegitation and animal life.[8] Capable of supporting carbon-based, humanoid life.[1]
The designation apparently stemmed from the Vulcan word “Minshara,” which was used to designate planets capable of supporting life.[7] Class-M planets could vary widely in color, cloud cover, and overall appearance. Most Class-M planets were characterized by a relatively thin, tectonically active crust floating on a molten rock mantle, which in turn surrounded a liquid metal outer core and a solid inner core composed of metal crystals.

Planet, Class-L
Indri VIII (TNG-246)
Marginal. Age ranged from 4-10 billion years. Diameter was 10,000 to 15,000 km. Typically located in the Ecosphere of a planetary system. Surface was rocky and barren, with little surface water; atmosphere was oxygen/argon, with a high concentration of carbon dioxide. Suitable for humanoid colonization. Typically had limited plant life.[1]

Planet, Class-K
Mars (STSC)
Mudd (TOS-41)
Adaptable. Age ranged from 4-10 billion years. Diameter was 5000 to 10,000 km. Typically located in the Ecosphere of a planetary system. Surface was barren, with little or no surface water, atmosphere was thin and mostly carbon dioxide. Adaptable for humanoid colonization through the use of pressure domes and terraforming. May contain primitive single-celled organisms.[1]

Jupiter (ENT-50)
Saturn (TNG-101-102)
Gas giant. Age ranges from 2-10 billion years. Diameter is 50,000 to 140,000 km. Typically located in the Cold Zone of a planetary system. Surface radiates some heat and is tenuous and comprised of gaseous hydrogen and hydrogen compounds, atmospheric zones vary in temperature, pressure and composition. May contain hydrocarbon-based life forms.[1]

Class-D Planet (VOY-109)
In the Delta Quadrant, a massive Class-D planet was circled by many rings of Class-M asteroids, where the 247th element may have been discovered by the U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656 crew in 2371. Over 200,000 Vhnori corpses rest as the “Next Emanation” among the asteroids.[1]

Moon (STSC)
Asteroid/Moon. Age ranged from 2-10 billion years. Diameter was 100 to 1000 km. Typically located in the Hot Zone, Ecosphere or Cold Zone of a planetary system, primarily in orbit of larger planets or in asteroid belts. Surface was barren and cratered, atmosphere was nonexistent or extremely tenuous. No native life forms.[1]
