According to Geoffrey Mandel's Star Trek: Star Charts, gas giants have an age ranging from 2-10 billion years and a diameter between 50,000 and 140,000 km. They are located within the "Cold Zone" of a star system. A class J planet is characterized by a tenuous surface, comprised of gaseous hydrogen and some hydrogen compounds, and an atmosphere comprised of zones that vary in temperature and composition. The only known lifeforms to be found on J-class planets are hydrocarbon-based. Examples of Class J planets include Jupiter and Saturn. | According to Geoffrey Mandel's Star Trek: Star Charts, gas giants have an age ranging from 2-10 billion years and a diameter between 50,000 and 140,000 km.
