  • Rings with very large differences between the minimum and maximum radii

[Tkael]

• moons that have highly inclined orbits around rings, particularly when the parent body has a high angular size that can fill a significant portion of the sky.

• Close Landables (huge star or planet in the sky)
• Highly Eccentric Orbits (nearly escape trajectories, 0.999+)
• Highly Eccentricity Landables with very close approaches relative to star radius (10:1 or less)
• Inclined Landable Moons Near Rings (10+ degrees orbital inclination)
• Moon-rich Planets (8+ moons)
• Multi-star planets (planets orbiting 5+ stars)
• Deeply Nested Moons (Moons of moons of moons)
• Shepherd Moons (orbiting between or within rings)
• Short-period planets (One hour or less)
• High Body-Count Systems (100+ bodies)
• Rare Numbers of Valuable Planets (6+ WW and/or 3+ ELW/AW, and combinations)
• Terraformable Systems (5+ terraforming candidates)
• Previously undiscovered earth-like, water, or ammonia worlds
