Description (Specifications)

In the most applied sense, planetologists look for only two basic types of worlds:

1. Habitable Worlds capable of growing into mainworlds
2. Uninhabitable Worlds worth mining or possessing valuable resources

While other planets are studied out of scientific curiosity, the interstellar economy pushes for expansion and an ever increasing development of the trade route network.
