Delta Theta III was a class M planet, discovered by the USS Enterprise during a series of exploratory and contact missions in 2270. The planet appears far younger than is geologically expected, considering the age of its star.
Delta Theta III was the home of a saurian-race of aboriginal lifeforms. According to the observations made by the Enterprise, they were in a late primitive state, with a basic language and social structure, defined by unity and co-operation, as well as fairly developed morays and traditions. They were protected by an entity, which protects them as their god, viewing them as its "children", and guiding them in their evolution. (TAS: "Bem")
