Alpha Carinae II

Alpha Carinae II was the inhabited second planet orbiting Alpha Carinae. Classified as class M, the planet was inhabited by intelligent life. 

The planet was a conventional M-class world with an oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere. On the planet's surface, there were two major landmasses and a number of islands. There were at least twenty-nine other planets that were biologically similar to Alpha Carinae II.

In the mid-23rd century, the geologist once visited this planet while serving in the Merchant Marines on a geology survey for a mining company.

In 2268, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) surveyed the planet as a test of the M-5 multitronic unit's capabilities. For that test, the starship was assigned to send a general survey party to the planet's surface. The party was to avoid all contact with the indigenous lifeforms. This test was cancelled by James T. Kirk after he was informed by Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott that the M-5 computer was shutting down systems across the ship. 

In 2328, the planet was home to the Spaceport Alpha Carinae II.
