*'''Atmosphere:''' 38% Oxygen, 58% Nitrogen, with approximately 1% Carbon dioxide and 3% Argon. The level of Argon in the atmosphere gives sunrise and sunset skies a slight purplish tinge to them, and the high amount of oxygen in the atmosphere means that fire risk is elevated. | *'''Atmosphere:''' 38% Oxygen, 58% Nitrogen, with approximately 1% Carbon dioxide and 3% Argon.

*'''Hydrosphere:''' Liquid water is present over approximately 60% of the planetary surface, and significant reserves exist in subterranean caverns. The north pole does not get cold enough to freeze except for during the coldest parts of the year, and temperatures are always low enough to freeze water on the southern pole. | *'''Hydrosphere:''' Liquid water is present over approximately 60% of the planetary surface, and significant reserves exist in subterranean caverns.

These forests have only begun to be charted, and are home to innumerable species of insects, small mammals, and reptiles. Oxygen content in the atmosphere makes the planet very well suited for most Federation species, while its slightly higher than Earth normal gravity is usually adjusted to well with a relatively short period of acclimatization. | ||
