	~~Planet Systems,~~ two or more planets orbiting ~~each other, are named similarly to Multiple Star Systems~~. ~~Each un-~~named ~~planet~~ in a planet ~~system will have an A~~, B, C, ~~etc. added to~~ its charted name.		A planetary system consists of two or more planets orbiting one another. It is named in the same way as a multiple-star system: any planet without its own name receives a ''capital'' letter—A, B, C, and so on—after its charted name.

	Un-named planets (or asteroid belts, space stations, etc.) are designated with their star's name and a Roman numeral suffix to denote the orbital order of the planet around the star. For example, an un-named planet that is the 4th out from a star named Yarrith would be designated Yarrith IV. The 5th planet orbiting an un-named star called K050608 would be designated K050608 V. A planet orbiting an un-named member of a multiple star system might be designated as G045694 IX if it was the 9th planet around G045694 or named Gb045694 IX if it was orbiting the second G class star in the multiple system.

	~~All systems receive~~ a '''designation''' ~~identified with a~~ letter(s) ~~describing their~~ star type~~(s)~~, ~~and the~~ coordinates of the ~~system~~.

	~~The numeral "0" precedes the axis value in~~ a ~~system name and—where~~ a coordinate is in the ~~negative—a hyphen is used to indicate the negative direction (an absence of the hyphen indicates it~~ is positive). For example~~, an un-named~~ orange-~~type~~ star system ~~located~~ at (5, 6, -8)~~, would be~~ designated K0506-08. ~~An un-named~~ white dwarf ~~located~~ at (~~-15~~, 2, 57) ~~would be named~~ D-01502057. ~~Where systems are located~~ between ~~full numerals~~, ~~that designation component is to be rounded~~ to the ~~closest numeral~~. ~~''Ex: -14~~.2 ~~would be~~ -014; 17.5 ~~would be~~ 018.''		Each coordinate is written with a leading zero. A minus sign indicates a negative coordinate; if there is no minus sign, the coordinate is positive. For example:
			* An orange-star system at (5,6,−8) is designated K0506-08.
			* A white dwarf at (−15,2,57) is designated D-01502057.
			If a system lies between whole-number coordinates, round each coordinate to the nearest whole number before writing the designation. For example, −14.2 becomes -014, while 17.5 becomes 018.

	When more than one star is within a system, the system itself takes on the charting name of the representative letter of each star, followed by the coordinates (ex: KFA05-0405). If one classification of star is represented in the system more than once, its letter will be used sequentially (ex: KGG05-0405), but each star will independently identified by a lower case sequential letter following the classification it its name (ex: K05-0405, Ga05-0405 and Gb05-0405 comprise the KGG05-0405 star system).
