Planet Classification System
First letter = primary type surface
- R = Rock
- M = Metallic
- L = Liquid
- G = Gas
- P = Plasma
- Z = Artificial
Second letter = subtypical class based on mass
- T = Tiny, below 0.35 ratio to Earth
- U = Below 0.85 ratio to Earth mass
- S = Standard equivalent, between 0.85 to 1.15, ratio to Earth mass
- L = Above 1.15 ratio to Earth mass
- X = Extra large, above 3.0 ratio to Earth mass
Third letter = designation of use
- R = Restricted, special permission required by government
- P = Private planet. Landing not allowed except in emergencies
- X = Classified, 1000 KM virtual border no trespassing
- M = Mining primary use
- L = Living, habitable, unrestricted access
- SC = Special commercial use other than mining (typically leisure / pleasure planets)
- Z = Zombie planet, contaminated by the un-dead or uncontrollable, deadly virus(es)
- U = Generally inhospitable and uninhabitable, but open
Example: R.S.L = Rock, Standard mass equivalent to Earth, Living planet
Notes:
- As new planet types are discovered, this classification system shall be expand as needed.
- At a minimum, a “planet” is any celestial body that rotates a star, has its own gravity field, and rotates on its own axis.
- Planets that have been observed but have not been fully quantified are classified as “unknown”
- Following the China Protocol, all new planets (and other celestial bodies) may be named by the discoverer but shall not be named after a person.
- Binary planets are not classified as such. Instead, individual planets are referenced to the other, as gravitational bodies (of influence) for each planet.
