A marginal Class M planet,
Alfa 177's thin atmosphere and distance from its parent sun drop
temperatures below -107 c. at night. Despite this hazard, various life-forms
have managed to evolve
on the planet. In particular, a species of horned canine has adapted especially
well to its
climate. Alfa 177 is also noted for its rare mineral ores, which contain unusual
magnetic
properties. Such ores have an adverse effect on transporter operations, and
caution should be
observed when beaming to or from this planet.
