If a satellite does appear, it is either a moon (10% chance), a tier X planet (60% chance), or a tier (X-1), (X-2) or (X-3) planet (split among the remaining 30%). If a Gas Giant is generated, that planet can have up to 3 satellites orbiting it, but each one only has a 50% chance to appear. When this chance succeeds, one of the following objects is generated to fill the orbital: a Gas Giant (90% chance), a Barren planet (5% chance), or an Asteroid Field (5% chance). In the Mid Region, each orbital has a 25% chance to be filled with an object. If a tiered planet is generated in an orbital in these regions, that planet can have up to 2 moons orbiting it, but each one only has a 35% chance to appear. When this chance succeeds, one of the following objects is generated to fill the orbital: a tier X planet (70% chance), a Barren planet (5% chance), an Asteroid Field (5% chance), or a tier (X-1) or (X-2) planet (split among the remaining 20%).


In the Inner Region and the Outer Region, each orbital has a 50% chance to be filled with an object. In the following paragraphs, X stands in for the tier associated with the star at the center of the stellar system. Stars cannot be traveled to-they are unselectable outside the galaxy view of the navigation console.Īll stellar systems have four regions within which objects can appear (they are listed from innermost to outermost): the Inner Region, which has four orbitals (slots for objects) the Mid Region, which has two orbitals the Outer Region, which has three orbitals and the Gate Region, the outermost orbital of the system. Stars are colored according to their type which dictates the threat and biomes of planets around them. Stars are bodies represented in the navigation console, each of which has a system of planets around it.
