| Class | Description | Surface | Atmosphere |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class A | Geothermal | Partially molten | Hydrogen compounds |
| Class B (ex: Mercury) |
Geomorteus | Partially molten, high temperature | Extremely tenuous |
| Class C (ex: Pluto) |
Geoinactive | Low temperature | Frozen |
| Class D (ex: Luna) |
Asteroid/Moon | Barren and cratered | None or very tenuous |
| Class E (ex: Excalbia) |
Geoplastic | Molten, high temperature | Hydrogen compounds and reactive gases |
| Class F | Geometallic | Volcanic | Hydrogen compounds |
| Class G | Geocrystalline | Crystallizing | Carbon dioxide, some toxic gases |
| Class H | Desert | Hot and arid, little or no water | May contain heavy gases and metal vapors |
| Class I | Gas Supergiant | Tenuous, comprised of gaseous hydrogen and hydrogen compounds, radiates heat | Variable presure and composition, may contain water vapor |
| Class J (ex: Jupiter) |
Gas Giant | Tenuous, comprised of gaseous hydrogen and hydrogen compounds, radiates some heat | Variable presure and composition |
| Class K (ex: Mars) |
Adaptable | Barren, little or no water | Thin, mostly carbon dioxide |
| Class L | Marginal | Rocky and barren, little water | Oxygen/Argon, high concentration of carbon dioxide |
| Class M (ex: Earth) |
Terrestrial | Water abundant | Nitrogen, Oxygen and trace elements |
| Class N (ex: Venus) |
Reducing | High temperature | Extreamly dense, carbon dioxide and sulfides |
| Class O | Pelagic | 80%+ water | Nitrogen, Oxygen and trace elements |
| Class P (ex: Breen) |
Glaciated | 80%+ water ice | Nitrogen, Oxygen and trace elements |
| Class Q (ex: Genesis Planet) |
Variable | Various | Tenuous to dense |
| Class R | Rogue | Maybe temperate due to geothermal venting | Primarily volcanic outgassing |
| Class S-T | Ultragiant | Tenuous, comprised of gaseous hydrogen and hydrogen compounds, radiates considerable heat | Variable presure and composition, may contain water vapor |
| Class Y (ex: Tholia) |
Demon | 500°K+ | Turbulent, saturated with toxic chemicals and therionic readiation |
