Alfa 177
Type:	Planet
Native Species:	Alfa 177 canine

Alfa 177 was a planet. It had a nighttime temperature that reached 120º below zero. The planet was capable of supporting life despite this, and it was also rich in a soft yellow magnetic ore with highly unusual properties.

In 2266, the USS Enterprise was on a specimen-gathering mission to this planet. While there, they brought aboard a species of dog native to the planet. Also, a member of the landing party became covered with the yellow magnetic ore, which damaged the transporters and caused the device to divide transporter signals. (TOS: "The Enemy Within")

Location Edit

In the episode "Conspiracy", there was a galactic map. This map showed the locations of several stars and planets from Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Animated Series. In this map, Alfa 177 was located in a block set between 344 and 345, and two blocks from the galactic edge. (Sol was located in a block set between 348 and 349, and two blocks from the galactic edge.)
