	An absolute requirement for life is an energy source, but the notion of planetary habitability implies that many other geophysical, geochemical, and astrophysical criteria must be met before the surface of an astronomical body is able to support life. Of particular interest is the set of factors that has sustained complex, multicellular animals in addition to simpler organisms on most [[Class M]] worlds. Research and theory in this regard is a component of planetary science and the emerging discipline of astrobiology.

			The [[United Federation of Planets]] developed a device known as the [[Genesis Device]] which used protomatter to reorganize matter into a life-giving matrix This device has since been deemed banned as a result of it's destructive potential and it's inherent instability.

			Only one other species have developed the Genesis device. The [[Myenru]] use the device to eradicate entire worlds that refuse to submit to their holy crusade. They call this process cleansing.
