The mean surface temperature is 14.8°C.

It is home to a Federation colony in 2259. The planet had at least three moons and orbited a yellow star. The colony founders used the small town model and based it on towns from the western United States. The USS Cayuga visited them to help stabilise their crop and provide the required vaccinations for the colonists. The leaders of the colony understood the benefits of Federation membership but were also concerned that being members of the Federation put a target on their heads. [1]

During a subspace call between Captain Pike and Captain Batel, who was on the planet during the call, the signal was lost and all attempts to reconnect failed. Shortly afterwards a huge spaceship appeared in the upper atmosphere and was identified as Gorn. Captain Batel managed to get an emergency signal off requesting assistance from any near by ship and say that they were under attack by the Gorn. [1]
