A terrestrial world of average size, Canctra's atmosphere is composed of nitrogen and argon. Its frozen surface is mainly composed of tin with deposits of calcium. Aside from some spectacular formations of water-ice at the poles, the planet has little to recommend it.

Trivia

- In Mass Effect 2, this planet is shown as "Cantra" as opposed to Canctra. It is unknown why the spelling differs between the games.
