When I discover new planets and moons, I like to rename them with a suffix so I can get some useful information just by looking at the name.
I keep the original name as much as possible, usually only changing it so I can pronounce it, and removing suffixes like Alpha, Omega or XVIII.
The suffix I add is usually made up of two parts:
A capital letter for the Primary Biome:
- L = Lush (I have also used P for Paradise)
- B = Barren
- H = Hot (Scorched or Volcanic biomes)
- F = Frozen
- M = Marsh
- R = Irradiated (I have also used Rad)
- T = Toxic (I have also used Tox)
- D = Dead
- X = Exotic
- PP = Perfect Paradise planet (green grass, blue water, blue sky, few storms, few sentinels)
Some planets may have a secondary biome and an extra capital letter, particularly exotic and marshy planets, so for example a lush planet with exotic bubbles would be LX, or a toxic marsh would be MT.
Lower case letters are used to give a little extra info:
- s = Sentinels are ever-present (i.e. "high sentinel activity")
- sh = Sentinels are hostile and attack on sight (i.e. "aggressive sentinels")
- i = Planet is infected with alien flora or fauna
- xt = An extreme planet with frequent and severe storms
Examples:
- Althase Delta renamed to Althase Hxt - a hot planet with extreme weather
- Dorib 37/W2 renamed to Dorib L - a lush planet
- Ximockfi renamed to Ximockfi LX - a lush planet with exotic bubbles
- Eworkin Delta renamed to Eworkin Dsh - a dead planet with hostile sentinels
- Seon renamed to Seon X - an exotic planet (with light fissures)
