Planet Showcase
9 June 2026 · 6 min read
The Space Estate catalogue has 120 worlds in it. That is a lot of planets. Most people only see one — the one assigned to their certificate — which means 119 others are just sitting there, undiscovered, waiting for someone to appreciate their particular flavour of cosmic strangeness.
So here is a curated tour. Five worlds, spanning four rarity tiers, each one chosen because it does something the others do not.
Moons: 1 · Gravity: 1.1g · Day: 22 hours
Covered almost entirely in warm shallow seas. No land masses — only vast stretches of luminous turquoise water.
Auraxis Minor is what happens when a planet commits fully to a single idea. No continents. No islands. Just ocean, warm and bright, stretching to every horizon. From orbit it looks like a pale blue opal. From the surface — if you could stand on it, which you cannot — you would see nothing but water and sky in every direction.
It is a Common, which means you have a roughly 50% chance of landing on something like it. But Auraxis Minor is the purest expression of the type. The catalogue has other ocean worlds, but none this serene.
Moons: 1 · Gravity: 0.4g · Day: 16 hours
Dense low-gravity atmosphere allows buoyant rock formations to drift at altitude. Implausible. Real.
Telvex breaks physics in the most charming way. Its gravity is so low and its atmosphere so thick that chunks of rock just float. Actual islands, drifting at cloud level, slowly rotating as they go. The catalogue team debated whether this was too whimsical and decided, correctly, that whimsy was the entire assignment.
It is an Uncommon, so only 30 worlds in the catalogue share its rarity tier. But none of the other 29 have floating islands. Telvex stands alone.
Moons: 2 · Gravity: 0.9g · Day: 31 hours
Silicate crystal formations cover the entire surface. In direct light, the planet refracts colour across space.
Aethon is the kind of world that sounds made up until you remember that all of them are made up, at which point you can just enjoy it. The surface is covered in natural crystal formations — not gem-quality, more like enormous quartz growths the size of buildings — that split sunlight into visible bands of colour visible from orbit.
If Auraxis Minor is serene, Aethon is spectacular. It is one of only 20 Rare worlds. Getting assigned one in your certificate feels like pulling a good card from a pack. The reaction is usually some variation of "wait, this one is actually beautiful."
Moons: 6 · Gravity: 1.2g · Day: 19 hours
Orbits two stars in a figure-eight path. The sky is never fully dark. Shadows point in different directions.
Beltharex is one of only 10 Legendary worlds in the entire catalogue. That is 8.3% odds, and when someone pulls it, the certificate practically glows. The twin suns are the headline feature, but the real magic is in the details: shadows that never settle, a sky that shifts from amber to pale gold depending on which star is dominant, six moons tracing different arcs across the horizon.
A few people have told us they framed their Beltharex certificate. We understand why. It is not just rare — it is a genuinely evocative piece of imaginary astronomy.
Moons: 0 · Gravity: 0.2g · Day: None
The furthest catalogued world from any star. It drifts alone in deep space. Cold, dark, and somehow serene.
Jornveth is the opposite of Beltharex in every way. No suns. No moons. Barely any gravity. It just drifts, impossibly far from anything, completely still. The catalogue describes it as "serene," which is doing a lot of emotional work for a frozen rock in interstellar space.
But that is the thing about Jornveth — people love it specifically because it is alone. We have had buyers specifically mention hoping for this one. The emptiness is the appeal. A world with nothing on it, belonging to nobody except the person on the certificate.
These five worlds span the full range of the catalogue: Common to Legendary, calm to chaotic, bright to dark. Every certificate gets one. Most people never see the other 119, but they are there, waiting in the database, each one with its own strange little story.
