Worlds

Worlds are the name given to planets within HubSpace, regardless of factors such as location, inhabitants, climate or resources. For sake of clarity, they are further sub-categorised, which when combined with their star's official Designation, gives their technical name.

Despite this, many have local names, afforded to them by residents or those otherwise familiar with the planet.

Classification and Nomenclature
The naming of Worlds is simpler than Stars, containing just two aspects - number and function. Both this values are placed after the Designation of the Star to which they have primary orbit, creating the official technical Designation.

Number
The number given is defined simply by the distance (as defined as the average distance for Worlds with elliptical orbiting pathways). The closest World is given the number 1, and ever preceding World an integer higher. The number of planets in each solar system vary widely. Many Stars have no planetary satellites, whereas others have been found with in excess of fifty.

Function
Instead of defining by climate, as was common in historical detailing, Worlds are categorised by the primary function, if any. This avoids confusion associated with planets featuring multiple climates, biomes and habitats, as most do.
