A planet is a celestial object that orbits a star.

About[]

A planet is an astronomical object orbiting a star or stellar remnant that is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity, is not massive enough to cause Thermonuclear Fusion, and has cleared its neighboring region of planetesimals (small celestial bodies). The term planet is ancient, with ties to history, astrology, science, mythology, and religion. Several planets in the Solar System can be seen with the naked eye. These were regarded by many early cultures as divine, or as emissaries of deities. As scientific knowledge advanced, human perception of the planets changed, incorporating a number of disparate objects. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) officially adopted a resolution defining planets within the Solar System. This definition is controversial because it excludes many objects of planetary mass based on where or what they orbit. Although eight of the planetary bodies discovered before 1950 remain "planets" under the modern definition, some celestial bodies, such as Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta (each an object in the solar asteroid belt), and Pluto (the first trans-Neptunian object discovered), that were once considered planets by the scientific community, are no longer viewed as such.

Stargate Designations[]

Introduction[]

Most planets the Stargate goes to have their own name, but Stargate Command usually assigned different designations to these planets. They originally were based on binary codes for the use of extrapolation, but now they have been renamed to explain their location within space. Every designation has two parts the first part which tells you the location of the planet within space (galaxy, sector, area) and the second which tells you the number of the planet within that specific Area.Milky Way planets were usually designated with P??-???, and Pegasus planets are usually designated with M??-???, now Milky Way Planets are designated with P, number, letter and then the number of the planet for instance P0L-000 and Pegasus Galaxy Planets are designated with PGP. These prevents the exceptions from occurring like with the old system. There might be total number of 3 010 936 384 possible milky way designations.

The Milky Way's Two Designation Parts[]

Part One[]

2 All Grids

Very vague poorly made representation of the Milky Way Galaxy and its 35 grids.

The first digit of a gate address is generally the P for planet. There are however four exceptions to this, since not all gates are located on planets. The most common of these exceptions are the letters M, A and S. M is used for Moons, A is used for Asteroids and S is used for Satellites both natural and artificial. Finally there is also the K which I say stands for Carelessness since that is the reason there are four planets designations that start with a K and not with a P. This is due to the fact that sadly the nineties systems was set up in such a way that changing something is near impossible and generally not worth the hassle. So we have kept those four exceptions to the rules, in our planet system. However we have add their new designation to them and on this site they are luckily ranked by them.

The second digit of a gate address tells you in which grid/section it is located, there are 9 main grids (1-9), 2 secondary grids (X and Y), 23 tertiary grids (A-W) and one quaternary grid (Z).

Very vague poorly made representation of the Milky Way Galaxy with all girds on it.

The third digit of a gate address was until 2010 assigned at random this made it essentially useless since the third digit could be anything from A to Z or 0 to 9 or there could even be no digit or fourth digit within the first part of the address. From 2010 however the third digit is used to notate the precise area or secondary grid in which the planet is located which is done by noting the nearest other gird closest to it. Except for grid Y in this case a 0 is used.

Part Two[]

The second part is simply just the number of the world within that sector and area. So for instance P19-001 is the designation for Earth and P19-002 is the designation for its closet neighbor.

Planet Types and Contact Types[]

Planet Types[]

See Also the full Article, Planet Types.

In order to better classify the planets the Stargate goes to we have divided them into 26 broad alphabetical ranked types, however these typing leave much over to improvement and are therefore very likely to be changed, updated and perfected on a later date.

Contact Types[]

Singular Contact Worlds[]

Are worlds only visited one time by us the Tau'ri.

Minor Contact World[]

Are worlds visited between 2 to 4 times by us the Tau'ri.

Average Contact World[]

Are worlds visited between 5 to 7 times by us the Tau'ri, this is the case for most worlds that is why they are called average.

Medium Contact World[]

Are worlds visited between 8 to 10 times by us the Tau'ri.

Regular Contact World[]

Are worlds visited between 11 to 14 times by us the Tau'ri.

Major Contact World[]

Are worlds visited between 15 to 20 times by us the Tau'ri.

Heavy Contact World[]

Are worlds visited between 21 to 45 times by us the Tau'ri.

Abundant Contact World[]

Are worlds visited 46 or more times by us the Tau'ri.
