Talk:Uninhabited planets

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

[edit] Question about "uninhabited"

Does "uninhabited" mean only by intelligent lifeforms? On an episode of TOS, Alfa 177 did have lower lifeforms(I.E. the little dog they found), but no intelligent ones. Would that be "uninhabited"?

good question. however, i vote for those planets lacking intelligent live. a example would be New Earth, where janeway and chakotay planned to spend the rest of their lives in the delta quadrant. there was plant life and even primates but no intelligant live... if we do not include such planets in the list, we would have to create another list. too much lists, however, make it extremely difficult to keep them up to date and would confuse the readers of Memory alpha (they're already starting to confuse myself...;-) ). --BlueMars 12:09, Jun 14, 2004 (CEST)
