Of the terrestrial planets, some 8 are class M, but 6 of these were terraformed to be class M. Propus is unusual in that the inner solar system has apparently been the victim of some terrible disaster in that the inner 90 AUs of the system are comprised of a series of asteroid belts where many planets should be present. Propus I is 92 AUs out from the star and has a roughly Venuslike climate. Propus IV is one of the two original class M planets and is home to the polygeminus grex, or tribble. Propus IV has an incredible variety of carnivorous animal life, of which the business end of the food chain is the fast-breeding tribble. Propus LV3 is interesting in that it is roughly the mass of Uranus, but is 90% water ice. |

Iota Geminorum IV was the uninhabited fourth planet in the Iota Geminorum system. This was the homeworld of the tribble. Reptiles were the natural predators of tribbles on this world, and were known to keep the tribble population in check, which when removed to other environments bred uncontrollably. This planet was located within the Klingon sphere of influence.
In 2369, a chart illustrating various creatures, including tribbles, from around the known galaxy was displayed in a classroom aboard Deep Space 9. (TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles"; DS9: "The Nagus", okudagram; ENT: "The Breach")
In order to fulfill their self-given task to hunt the tribble species to extinction, a Klingon armada obliterated Iota Geminorum IV in the late 23rd century. (DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations")
