The standard [[Federation]] system of '''planetary classification''' categorizes [[planet]]s based on various factors such as atmospheric composition, surface temperature, vegetation and size. Each class is designated with a letter, for example, [[Class M]] (name based on the [[Vulcan]] terminology "[[ | The standard [[Federation]] system of '''planetary classification''' categorizes [[planet]]s based on various factors such as [[atmosphere|atmospheric]] composition, surface temperature, [[plant|vegetation]] and size.

''The [[Star Trek: Star Charts]] book, which was authored and advised by Trek staffers, lists many other planetary classes which may one day be recognized onscreen, but as of now they remain conjectural.'' | |||
According to the Star Charts, a '''Class P''' planet is a 'Glaciated' planet. They have an age that ranges from 3 to 10 billion years and a diameter between 10,000 to 15,000 km. Class P planets are located in the ecosphere of a [[Solar system]]. A Glaciated planet is catagorized by a surface comprised of 80%+ [[water]] ice and an atmosphere consisting of [[nitrogen]], [[oxygen]] and trace [[element]]s. [[Lifeform]]s found on Class P planets include hardy [[plant|vegetation]], [[animal]] life and occasionally native [[humanoid]]s. It is widely believed that [[Breen (planet)|Breen]] is also a Class P planet. However, according to [[Weyoun]], it is in fact a lush world with a temperate climate, in which case it would have to be categorized as [[Class M]]. ({{DS9|When It Rains...}}) | |||
