Alpha 332

Alpha 332 is a planet located just inside the edge of the Galaxy 517 region in the galaxy's Alpha or Beta Quadrant.

The planet had similar atmospheric composition and geological processes to Earth.

History
In 2266, as the Federation starship USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) was exploring the region near the planet, Nyota Uhura unexpectedly picked up lifeform sounds near a volcano that was due to erupt imminently. James T. Kirk and Spock beamed down to see a group of the Paraca race praying to the volcano in hopes of calming it. Kirk and Spock convinced them to evacuate, but were then captured by a group of ape-like Turracas, who would not heed similar warnings. Kirk and Spock beamed up before the volcano erupted, but the Turracas were killed.
