The edit form applies to terrestrial planets, planetoids, and moons. The Orbital section is only shown when the body orbits a star.
Fields marked with the chip icon are required: orbit, size, inclination, eccentricity, axial tilt, albedo, and the biomass, biocomplexity, biodiversity, compatibility and resource ratings. Terrestrial planets also require atmosphere and hydrographics. Enter 0 where a value is unknown.
Editing is scoped to one section at a time. Pressing Edit while a tab is selected on the show page opens only that tab's fields; Name, Known and the Survey and Classified Records are under General. Use the section strip at the top to jump to another section. Unsaved changes are not carried between sections, so save before switching.
Press Update core to save changes.
Name
- Name
- The body's designation or proper name.
Orbital
- Orbit
- Orbital radius as an orbit number. Must be at or beyond the parent star's minimum allowable orbit.
- Period
- Orbital period around the parent body.
- Retrograde
- Enable if the body orbits opposite to the primary star's rotation.
- Rotation
- Sidereal rotation period in hours.
- Inclination

Starport
- Starport
- Class of the primary port facility (A–E, X for none).
- Berthing Cost, Refined Fuel Cost, Unrefined Fuel Cost
- Assigned automatically on import per the starport class berthing-cost table (WBH p. 257): 1D×Cr1000/Cr500/Cr100/Cr10 for Class A/B/C/D respectively, none for Class E or X. Refined fuel defaults to Cr500 where sold (Class A/B); unrefined fuel defaults to Cr100 where sold (Class A–D). Leave blank for none. Edit directly to override the assigned values.
Physical
- Size
- UWP size code. Changing size recalculates diameter, mass, and gravity.

Hydrographics
- Hydrographics
- Percentage of surface covered by liquid (UWP code).
- Liquid
- Type of liquid present (e.g. water, hydrocarbons).
- Distribution
- Pattern of liquid distribution across the surface.
Population
- Population
- Population code 0–12.
- Concentration Rating
- How concentrated the population is (0 = extremely dispersed, 9 = extremely concentrated).

-
Eight dimensions describing the population's dominant culture. See WBH p. 181.

- Militancy: Peaceful (1) to Militant (20)
- Native / Extinct Sophont
- Whether a sophont species is or was native to this body.
- Sophont
- The species native to this body. Choose an existing sophont, or type a name to create a new one (the new sophont's home system is set to this system). Notes, language and picture are managed under Data Cores → Sophonts.
- Habitability Rating
- A score from 0 to 10 indicating suitability for unprotected human habitation. 0 is actively hostile; 10 is a Terra-equivalent garden world. See WBH p. 132.
- Biomass Rating
- Total biological mass on a comparative scale.
- Biodiversity Rating
- Number of distinct species or ecological niches.
- Biocomplexity Rating
- Highest level of biological complexity present (1–10).
- Resource Rating

Government
- Government
- Government type code (0–F hex). See WBH p. 156.
- Judicial / Executive / Legislative
- Structural composition of each branch: D Demos (elected assembly), S Single Council, M Multiple Councils, R Ruler. See WBH p. 158.
- Authority
- Which branch holds supreme authority: L Legislative, E Executive, J Judicial, B Balance (no dominant branch). See WBH p. 159.
- Centralisation
- Degree of central control: C Confederal (constituent units hold power), F Federal (power shared between centre and units), U Unitary (centre holds power). See WBH p. 159.
Law Level
- Law Level
- Overall degree of legal restriction (0–F hex). Changing this value automatically resets all five sub-classification selects to match, providing a baseline that can then be adjusted individually.
- Weapons & Armour
- Law level governing possession and carry of weapons and personal armour.
- Criminal Law
- Law level for criminal offences and prosecution thresholds.
- Economic Law
- Law level regulating commerce, licensing, and trade.

- Death Penalty
- Whether capital punishment is in use.
- Presumed Innocence
- Whether defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Records
- Survey Records
- Free-text notes visible to players and the referee, written in Markdown (Markdown guide). Shown on the record in a collapsible block; toggle it with the chevron button. Reads “No findings reported” when empty.
- Classified Records
- Referee-only notes, also written in Markdown. Players never see this block, and it is left out of the API and exports for them.
- Reference link
- External documentation link (http or https). Leave blank to use the generated Traveller Wiki world entry for terrestrial planets, planetoids and planetoid belts in charted-space campaigns.
