===Gravity and Surface Composition=== {| class="wikitable" |+ Planet Body (Size and Mass); D10 ! Roll ! Meaning: Rocky Planet |- ! 1 |'''Small, Light:''' The already-small world is low in metals, and so has even lower mass than it appears. |- ! 2-3 |'''Small:''' Too small for strong gravity or abundant resources. Subtract 5 from the result of its Gravity roll. |- ! 4 |'''Small, Dense:''' As ''Small'' but with higher gravity and more mineral resources available. |- ! 5-7 |'''Large:''' Worlds of this size can range across a vast spectrum of possible types. |- ! 8 |'''Large, Dense:''' As ''Large'' but with higher gravity and more mineral resources available. |- ! style="white-space: nowrap;" | 9-10 |'''Vast:''' Huge and voluminous, worlds of this type strain the upper edges of the possible size for a single world. Such planets tend to be of middling density, as they are already more massive than is common. Add 5 to the result of its Gravity roll. |- ! Roll ! Meaning: Gas Giant |- ! 1-2 |'''Gas Dwarf:''' Considerably more massive than most rocky planets, but small for its kind. Subtract 5 from the result of its Gravity roll. |- ! 3-8 |'''Gas Giant:''' Vastly more massive than any rocky world, with accordingly powerful gravity. |- ! style="white-space: nowrap;" |'''9-10''' |'''Gas Titan:''' The titans among gas giants are larger than some small stars, and may even be 'Brown Dwarfs', arguably closer to being stars than planets (the difference is that a true star can maintain fusion reactions, Brown Dwarfs can't). Roll another ''D10''; on an ''8+'' this is a Brown Dwarf; its Gravity roll is an automatic ''10'' and its moons are generated as if they were one Solar Zone closer to their star. On a ''1-7'' it is an 'ordinary' titan and merely adds 3 to its Gravity roll. |} '''Dense''': A Dense planet adds 5 to the result of its Gravity roll. Increase the Abundance of any Mineral Resources it holds by 10. '''Light''': Subtract 2 from the result of its Gravity roll, and halve the Abundance of any Mineral Resources it holds. {| class="wikitable" |+ Gravity; D10 !Roll !Meaning: Rocky Planet !'''Orbital Feature Rolls''' |- ! style="white-space: nowrap;" | -6-2 |'''Low Gravity:''' Subtract 10 from its rolls for Orbital Features and subtract 2 from its roll for Atmospheric Presence. Maneuvering on this world may be difficult for those not accustomed to it. |D2 |- ! 3-8 |'''Normal Gravity:''' Approximately the same gravity as Terra's standard 1 G. No effects. |2D3-1 |- ! 9+ |'''High Gravity:''' Add 10 to this planet's rolls for Orbital Features and add 1 to its roll for Atmospheric Presence. |D6+1 |- !Roll !Meaning: Gas Giant ! |- ! style="white-space: nowrap;" | -4-2 |'''Weak:''' Weak gravity for a gas giant, though still stronger than almost all rocky planets. Subtract 5 from its rolls for Orbital Features. |D6 |- ! 3-6 |'''Strong:''' Enormous gravity field, normal for its type. No effects. |D6+D3 |- ! 7-9 |'''Powerful:''' Objects well beyond its immediate surroundings feel its pull. Add 5 to its rolls for Orbital Features. |2D6 |- ! 10+ |'''Titanic:''' Even the system's star is affected by this world's gravity. Add 15 to this planet's rolls for Orbital Features. |3D6 |}
