Coltac is a planet covered with tropical rainforests and appears completely green from orbit. Animal lifeforms include a wide variety of large dinosaurs and pterosaurs.
History[]
In 2266, the USS Enterprise launched its all-terrain shuttlecrawler Space Bug X-4 to explore the surface of Coltac. James T. Kirk sought Coltac herbs that were key to developing an antidote to a creeping sickness plague.
The landing party was forced to use phasers to stun a massive, bipedal, horned dinosaur whose head was as large as the shuttle. This animal easily uprooted trees more than 12-feet thick. Later, a pterosaur dive-bombed the shuttle as the crew were collecting herb samples, but Kirk was able to keep the animal at bay with his phaser until the team could take off.
