Corjay has a great project started called Adventure Generator. I used that code to work on this
Refer to: Generate A System (a document page from the Random Planet-System Generator project).
and would like some input. Too little info? Need more detail? More stuff? Help! :-D

Thanks in advance!

Go to the bottom of this page to see the Random System Generator output.

Random Roll Result:

As you come out of the Void you see a binary star system. Two sol-like stars.


Sensor show potential habitable planet(s).


As sensors sweep the system several celestial objects appear on the scanners. 68 short-period comets appear on the SystemScope along with a single asteroid belt.

There are 8 planets in this system.
terrestrial planet,
green house planet,
failed rock core,
terrestrial planet,
ice dwarf ,
carbonaceous gas planet,
failed rock core and
green house planet.

Distances as follows:
1.3 AU, 4.7 AU, 4.5 AU, 4.1 AU, 3.8 AU, 10 AU, 2.2 AU and .6 AU's.

SPECIAL FEATURE = No special feature.
