Alfa 177

Alfa 177 was an uninhabited planet in the Alpha Quadrant. This was the homeworld for a species of dog. ( production art)

This planet had a nighttime temperature that reached 120&deg; 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 (NCC-1701) was on a specimen-gathering mission to this planet. While there, they brought aboard one of the dogs 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. 

The planets location in the explored region of the Milky Way Galaxy was depicted on a Federation star chart in 2293. ( production art)
