Section through a class M world The Class M (or Minshara-class)
planet is the most stable type for humanoid habitation. Class M
planets may feature large areas of water, if water or ice covers
more than 80% of surface then the planet is considered Class O
or Class P. (ST reference: Star Charts, ENT episode: "Strange
New World") - The TOS novel: Strangers from the Sky indicated
that the term "Class M" was used by humans prior to first
contact with Vulcans, or indeed before humanity reached any
extra-solar planets. Planets of this typeEdit - Archer IV -
