Planet Profile Template

250px-Starmap2.jpg

Thank you for taking the time to read about the template for your own personally created planet. Please note that ALL submissions require approval by an admin before they can be used or referenced in the role-play.

Please note that a properly completed template will have all fields filled out. Note as well that, unlike character profiles, a literary form for planets is not an option. The template, as written, must be filled out.

Planet approvals will be overseen by Empress. Please feel free to leave her a Private Message or Visitor Message if you have any questions about planet approvals.

The template is as follows:

  • Name: What is the name of your planet?
  • Coordinates: What section of the grid is your planet located in on the Galactic Map? (For example: Corsucant is located at (L9) and Korriban at (R5) on the Galactic Map
  • Climate: What types of weather does your planet experience? Is it planet-wide? Are there seasons?
  • Terrain: What type of geography does your planet have? Is there any foliage? Are there any landmarks of note?
  • Rotation: Does your planet have any day or night cycle? How long is it? Does it have any affect on the planet?
  • Inhabitants: What organism inhabit your planet? Are there any dominant species? Are any of these organisms sentient?
  • Resources: Does your planet have any natural resources of value or note? If any resource is exclusive to this planet please provide a detailed description.
  • Government: Is your planet host to any governing bodies? What type of government is it? Are they aligned with any factions?
  • Economy: What kind of economy does the government have?
  • Culture: Does the society that live on your planet have an particular traditions or beliefs? Are they attached to your government?
  • Technology: How advanced of technology do the people of you planet possess?
  • Satellites: Are there any moons, asteroid belts, or other things of note near your planet?
  • History: Does your planet have any special historic event that took place on it? This does not need to be lengthy if the planet is uninhabited. However, if there is an established culture or government, a minimum of fifty words is required.
  • Notable PC's: What Player Characters (PCs) hail from your planet?
  • Intent:What are your plans for this planet? In an RP perspective how would you like to see this planet used and where it could be taken in the future? NOTE: This section alone can have your planet dismissed. Planets created on a whim or for purposes to undermine the integrity of the Story will not be approved.

NOTE. PLEASE READ:
Please note before creating a species there are a few special rules and guidelines that set this profiles apart from the regular character profiles.

1. ANY submitted material in this section is for the fair use of other RPers. That means any member of the site is able to use your planet in their RP.

This fits with the already in place logic that no species or planet should be intended for a "use and discard" metric. When you are creating a planet or species you are adding to the site's lore and as such it becomes part of that. For example it'd be like someone creating Tatooine and the site not being able to use them.
While the user does not need to express the intentions of their usage to the author of the planet it is common courtesy to do so.

2. If a planet is being created for a very limited purpose or it is getting no activity then for a period of 3 months I will periodically update you to get the particular profile some use. If it does not get any substantial activity in that time then it will be retroactively unapproved.

3. Keep in mind the galaxy is a very crowded place. If a planet does not differentiate meaningfully from canon material then it will not be approved. This is to assure that any new planet does not impede on the already in place canon, exploit any abuses in the galaxy, or simply create a new planet that simply does not need to exist.

4. Number of planets that can be created are limited to about one or two per person.

5. Creating a planet for the soul genesis of one species, for a secluded RP story line, or for the expansion of a main or indie faction is almost always met with unapproval. If you feel your case is different then please message the current overseeing administrator as to why this case is unique.

6. Creating planets in bulk (as in a system or two very closely grouped planets) will not be approved.

7. Resources on a planet that are considered valuable or of great quality must be present in a limited amount. This serves as a means to not provide any planet with an abundance of game breaking materials.

This also serves to protect the planet from a faction that would most assuredly raid it and take whatever resource their was.

Keep in mind that while we freely let you create a planet that this does not mean you have that immediate right to play on this planet. The planets must be approved by the admin currently overseeing the section.
