Background

According to the Star Trek Star Charts, Class L planets are 'Marginal' planets. They have an age that ranges from 4-10 billion years and a diameter between 10,000 and 15,000 km. Marginal planets are located within the Ecosphere of a solar system. They are catagorized by a rocky and barren surface with little surface water and an atmosphere of Oxygen/Argon with a high concentration of carbon dioxide. Native lifeforms are limited to plant life, although the majority of Class L planets are suitable for humanoid colonization
