(ENT: "Rogue Planet") Still, Archer had received exobiology training prior to his captaincy of Enterprise NX-01 in 2151, so he knew statistically only one of 43,000 planets supported intelligent life. (ENT: "Fight or Flight") Data graduated from Starfleet Academy with honors in exobiology in 2345. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint" , "Shades of Gray" , "Tin Man" ) Prior to becoming joined with Dax in 2367, Jadzia Dax had earned Premier Distinctions in exobiology, zoology, astrophysics and exoarchaeology. (DS9: "Dax") In 2367, Wesley Crusher topped his class at Starfleet Academy in exobiology, but still struggled with Ancient Philosophies. (TNG: "The Host" ) A comparative xenobiological chart was placed in Keiko O'Brien's classroom aboard Deep Space 9 in 2369. (DS9: "A Man Alone", "The Nagus") When Edward Jellico captained the USS Enterprise-D that year, he ordered to take the secondary distribution grid offline to increase warp coil efficiency. Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge protested since that would shut down the exobiology department, the astrophysics lab and geological research. (TNG: "Chain of Command, Part I" ) In 2375, The Doctor wished to consult a database on exobiology when a cytoplasmic lifeform attached itself to B'Elanna Torres. He instead ended up creating a hologram of Crell Moset (Medical Consultant Program Beta one), a Cardassian exobiologist. (VOY: "Nothing Human") Later that year, when The Doctor gave Qatai information on how to improve his shields, Qatai commented The Doctor seemed to know a little about everything including exobiology, medicine and shield harmonics. (VOY: "Bliss") In the retconned material of TNG: "The Neutral Zone" , Thomas Raymond was a professor of exobiology. In the remastered version he was a professor of exosociology.
- Currently, Earth is the only known planet capable of sustaining life (Goldilocks planets), however, a number of other planets, both within and outside of the Solar system have been seen as candidates;
* Mars - a common favourite among astrobiologists, it is believed the planet was once covered in liquid water, and could have been able to support life. However, today, due to a lack of magnetosphere, life on the surface is deemed impossible, however, life under the surface, perhaps in subterranean caverns, is a possibility;
* Gliese 581 system - Considered to be a prime candidate, Gliese 581 is a star system comprised of 1 red dwarf star, and 6 extrasolar planets, each of which having varying degrees of existence. Gliese 581 e, d and g have all been noted for being within the habitable zone, and are the most likely candidates for life outside of the Solar system.
* Kepler 22b - A planet located within the Kepler 22 system, it orbits a class G star, similar to the Solar system's Sun. Despite being 35 times the mass of Earth, it is still a key candidate for extrasolar life, as it is located well within the stars habitable zone, with a 95% certainty rate.
