Planet Class

The class of a planet determines what goods it will produce in large enough quantities to be exported and put up for sale at the space dock.

Class M

Class M planets are often regarded as the bastions of life and for good reason, as they are home to a great majority of all terrestrial life in the universe. M classes occur in very specific conditions and are one of the rarer planet types, and therefore the most sought after. Their atmosphere and climate make these planets perfect for plant and animal life, making these planet great producers of food.

Class G

While Gas Giants are the most common planet type in the universe, these planets are rarely habitable in any sense of the form, which is a shame as they are great producers of various gases used throughout the universe. Violent storms often rage on their surfaces, and due to their massive size and gravity, they are often bombarded by showers of asteroids and space debris.

Class W

The cousin of the Class M, Class W's are the second most likely planet type to support life, in fact, most terrestrial life that is not found on Class M's are found on Class W's. Occurring within similar conditions as Class M's, Class W are covered in water, making them ideal for aquatic life forms and are therefore a great source of water, and food.

Class D

Often located in a close orbit with a star, Class D planets are normally barren of water, and therefore life. Often with a gas rich atmosphere, these planets are prime source Hydrogen gasses, and their relatively inert geology makes them perfect for vast quantities of low-mass metallic ores.<br\> <br\> It's inhabitants seem to have an insatiable desire for booze.x16.png Booze.

Class R

Class R planets are characterized by high level of tectonic activity, this constant moving allows for rarer ores that would normally be found deep in a planets core to be more readily accessible, making these planets to be a prime target for mining operations.Coincidentally, the excessive volcanic activity results in crystalline formations that some how produce and contain anti-matter.

This process can be accelerated by introducing small measures of darkmatter.x16.png Dark Matter to these clusters of exotic crystals.

Class C

Often called 'Dead Planets' and for good reason. Class C planets are inactive in any and all sense of the word, whether if be from over harvesting or simply from dying out after millions of years. These planets contain large amounts of carbon, and carbon based substances, which can be used to fuel factories, allowing these planets to produce large quantities of metal.
