Duronis II, called "Til'ahn" by the native [[Laudean]]s, is a lush, verdant Class M world just outside of Federation space. Its star systems also boarders near the Zalkonians and the Romulans. | Duronis II, called "Til'ahn" by the native [[Laudean]]s, is a lush, verdant Class M world just outside of Federation space.

Til'ahn is a [[Planetary Classification#Class M|Class M]] world approximately 14,000 kilometers in diameter at its equator, making it slightly larger than most CLass M worlds (such as [[Earth]]). Its atmosphere contains the oxygen-nitrogen mix typical of such worlds, without major concentrations of other gases or even, at this stage in its history, much in the way of greenhouse gases or other pollutants. The inhabitants of some other "highly civilized" worlds envy Til'ahn's fresh, clean air. | |||
In fact, Til'ahn could be considered a model Class M world. Unlike worlds on the fringes of the Class M category, it has a wide variety of ecologies and environments. As a traveler moves from the ice-covered polar regions towards the equator, he passes through northern temperate, temperate, subtropical, and finally tropical regions, each containing its own distinctive flora and fauna. In some regions geographic and atmospheric conditions have conspired delightfully to create pockets of unusual climate or wildlife, further enhancing Til'ahn's biodiversity. | |||
