Star Trek: Class Y was duplicated

Changed line(s) 103,106 (click to see context) from:

** Of course, in Franchise/StarTrek, the [[{{Precursors}} First Humanoids]] spread DNA to most life-bearing worlds to ensure HollywoodEvolution... er, ''parallel'' evolution. Many alien planets have been described as having the equivalent of orchids, vultures, cats, and other terrestrial-specific animals as well as HumanAliens and RubberForeheadAliens. The Klingons even have coffee.
** A few aversion examples: ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' the planet Elba II, which had a poisonous atmosphere that would kill humans breathing it before very long, "The Way to Eden" had a planet that was technically habitable (right sunlight and air quality), but all the flora excreted a deadly acid, and the fruit was lethal; In ''[[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan The Wrath of Khan]]'', the planet Khan was found on had been Earth-like but is fairly toxic now; ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' had the "Y-class" planet in the episode "Demon". Though not seen, the fact that the recurring Benzite species are one of the few species shown that can't breathe normal air without a special device implies that their homeworld-Benzar-is not Earth like.
*** There are also two episodes where the reason for the crew to look closer is that the planet, or an area on it, is Earth-like when it shouldn't be (SufficientlyAdvancedAliens did it).
** And frequently enough in all Star Treks, "only" one or two planets in a system will be "Class M" (that is, Earthlike) and no one ever beams down/lands on a planet without checking first (though sometimes it's not always shown. However, you figure if the crew knows how to dress, they also know the air won't kill them them the second they arrive.)

** Averted in ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''. The planet Elba II had a poisonous atmosphere that would kill humans breathing it before very long, "The Way to Eden" had a planet that was technically habitable (right sunlight and air quality), but all the flora excreted a deadly acid, and the fruit was lethal.
** Zigzagged in ''[[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan The Wrath of Khan]]''. The planet Khan was found on had been Earth-like but had since become fairly toxic.
** Averted in ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' episode "Demon". A class-Y planet is colloquially known as a 'Demon' class planet because it's as harsh as the class-N Venus.
** The fact that the recurring Benzite species in ''The Next Generation'' and ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Deep Space 9]]'' are one of the few species shown that can't breathe normal air without a special device implies that their homeworld, Benzar, is not Earthlike.
** But there are also episodes where the reason for the crew to look closer is that the planet, or an area on it, is Earth-like when it shouldn't be (SufficientlyAdvancedAliens did it).
** And frequently enough in all Star Treks, "only" one or two planets in a system will be "Class M" (that is, Earthlike) and no one ever beams down or lands on a planet without checking first. Sometimes the checking is offscreen, but if the away team know how to dress, they probably also know the air won't kill them them the second they arrive.

Universal means medium-agnostic. Were you looking for Omnipresent?
