The planet had similar atmospheric composition and geological processes to Earth.
History[]
In 2266, as the Federation starship USS Enterprise was exploring the region near the planet, Nyota Uhura unexpectedly picked up lifeform sounds near a volcano that was due to erupt imminently. James T. Kirk and Spock beamed down to see a group of the Parraca race praying to the volcano in hopes of calming it. Kirk and Spock convinced them to evacuate, but were then captured by a group of ape-like Turracas, who would not heed similar warnings. Kirk and Spock beamed up before the volcano erupted, but the Turracas were killed. (TOS comic: "The Gods Have Come!")
