I was in the middle of running an adventure when I suddenly realized I really needed a planetary classification system. The show establishes only two types, Class M (“oxygen atmosphere” “close to Earth conditions”) and Class K (“adaptable for humans by use of pressure domes and life-support systems”).
Star Fleet Handbook, Vol. 10 introduces a more fleshed out list of Types A-N. This was used in other TOS-based fan works, plus Star Trek Maps, FASA’s The Orions, and Worlds of the Federation (somewhat modified in the last). It’s a good start, but a little dry for a RPG.
Starships & Spacemen, 2nd Edition includes a fantastic list of Types A-X which is just perfect for a RPG. However, its designations (deliberately) do not match with the Star Trek ones. For example, it has Class H as its “earthlike” class. Therefore, I have adapted it, moving the types around so that Classes A-N match the Star Trek Maps list reasonably closely (perhaps fudging it a little); Classes O-W are the “new” ones from S&S.
