congruous
adjective
Corresponding in character or kind; appropriate or harmonious.
Source: Peter F. Hamilton's Judas Unchained.
In Hamilton's Judas Unchained and the previous book Pandora's Star, humanity has colonized hundreds of worlds using small wormhole portals to shuttle people between one point in space to another. Travel is instantaneous. So whenever they look for a world to colonize, they look for qualities that would make it "H-congruous", meaning humans can live and breathe there naturally without the use of technology. It's a key term that isn't quite explained in the book and it isn't an actual scientific term but used widely in his story.
To use it in a sentence, I'd say:
When humans finally stepped through the Coslay wormhole, they were shocked to find the first ever H-congruous world outside of the Solar System.
