I've made the assumption that minor bodies aren't worth mentioning. Assume all systems have a Kuiper belt and Oort cloud, that most Jovians will have their Trojans and Greeks, and that pretty much any planet at all has a number of minor satellites, meteor clouds, etc. Space is big. | I've made the assumption that minor bodies aren't worth mentioning.

For each such world, take (TL+Settlement-15) OR (TL+1d6-15) points, whichever is more. You may add these points to or subtract them from the world's Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, or Biosphere codes, in order to improve their Desirability ratings. |
