Orbit strip

The line of markers across the top of the page lists the primary and each body orbiting it, in orbit order. The body on display is highlighted; select any other marker to survey that body. The Left and Right arrow keys step to the previous or next body, except at either end of the line or while a text field has focus. Shown only for bodies orbiting a stellar primary.

Regenerate

Submits the body's Universal World Profile and orbital parameters to the generator data core, which recomputes and returns a complete characteristic profile. All existing survey data for the body is superseded by the returned values, including the satellite inventory — all previously recorded moons are expunged and reconstructed from the generator's output. This operation is irreversible. Available only when the body orbits a stellar primary.

Tabs

Orbital

Orbital radius (orbit number and/or AU), period, effective HZCO deviation, retrograde flag, inclination, eccentricity, periapsis/apoapsis, tidal lock target, sidereal day, twilight zone status, and the location hierarchy through to sector. Jump shadow extent is shown when it exceeds the body's own shadow.

Starport

Starport classification (A–E, X), allegiance, and travel zone. Berthing and fuel costs (WBH p. 257) are shown on the Starport tab and Planetary Profile, with a dash where a cost doesn't apply.

Physical

Diameter (km), mass (Earth masses), surface gravity (g), density (Earth relative), mean temperature (°C, with periapsis and apoapsis temperature shown underneath — omitted for bodies generated before this breakdown existed), rotation period (hours), axial tilt, albedo, and greenhouse factor.

Planetary Profile

The sidebar summary for quick referee reference. It includes the atmosphere composition and the hydrographics liquid type (when known) alongside the survival requirement, so the breathable gas mix and surface liquid are visible without opening the Atmo or Hydro tabs. The same fields appear on the starmap sidebar and in the Markdown export.

Atmo

Atmosphere code and composition type. Tainted atmospheres include irritant subtype, severity, and persistence ratings. Hazard code is shown where applicable.

Hydro

Hydrographics code, surface liquid coverage (the exact percentage where the generator supplied one, otherwise the code's range), liquid type, and surface distribution pattern.

Pop

Population code with approximate headcount range, concentration rating, urbanisation percentage, major city count, and cultural indices (cohesion, diversity, militancy, and related ratings).

Gov

Government type code and description, authority style, centralisation, and the structure of judicial, executive, and legislative bodies. Not shown when population and this value are both 0.

Law

Law level code with sub-ratings covering weapons and armour restrictions, criminal and economic law, personal rights, uniformity, and judicial system. Not shown when population and this value are both 0.

Tech

Overall technology level code with per-category ratings for electronics, energy, manufacturing, medical, environmental, land, sea, air, and space transport, and personal and heavy military equipment. Not shown when population and this value are both 0.

Moons

Paginated list of satellites. The tab counter shows the total moon count. Toggle Significant only to suppress sub-kilometre bodies.

Notes

The starmap detail window has a Notes tab holding the body’s Survey Records. The referee also sees its Classified Records there; players only ever receive the Survey Records.

Map

Renders a surface map for the body from an external cartography service, derived from its Universal World Profile, name, system, and recorded trade codes. Generate Map requests a render. Once a map exists it is shown whenever this tab is opened, with a small Regenerate map button beneath it to request a fresh one, an icon to open the map on its own in a new tab, and a link icon that copies a public link to the map (anyone with the link can view it without signing in). A download icon fetches the map as a WebP image, which is created the first time it is requested and kept until the map is regenerated. A note appears if the world's details have changed since the map was generated.
