Biosphere

Biosphere is determined by rolling 2d6 and consulting the appropriate column for the atmosphere type of the world.

Population

Population is determined by rolling 2d6 and consulting the appropriate column for the atmosphere type of the world.

Temperature: -1 if Warm or Cold, -2 if Variable, -3 if Frozen or Burning
Gaia: +2 if Temperate, Breathable, and Human-Miscible or Hybrid
Semi-Gaia: +1 if one of from Gaia

Failed Colonies Roll 1d6 and on a 4, 5 or 6, assume that the failed colony has the equivalent of an Outpost population living is scattered settlements of a few dozen people.

Outposts have populations determined by rolling 1d6 on the following table:

1d6	Outpost Population	1d6	Outpost Population
1-3	1d10 * 100
4-5	1d10 * 500
6	1d10 * 1000

10 thousand of inhabitants roll 1d10*10 thousand people.

100 thousand of inhabitants rolls 1d10*100 thousand people.

Millions of inhabitants have populations of 1d10 Million people.

Tens of millions of inhabitants have populations of 1d10*10 million people.

100 millions of inhabitants have populations of 1d10*100 million people.

Billions of inhabitants have populations determined by rolling 1d6 on the following table:

1d6	Billions Population
1-3	1 Billion
4	1d3 Billion
5	3+1d3 Billion
6	6+1d4 Billion

Aliens roll for population again.

Tech Level

Roll 2d6 and consult the table below based on the type of population on the world.

Phenotype

First roll 1d6 to determine the cultures on the planet

1d6	Phenotypes
1-2	1 Local Phenotype
3-4	2 Local Phenotypes
5	3 Local Phenotypes
6	1 Local Phenotype and 1 random Phenotype

1d6	Local Phenotypes
1-2	Awasan
3-4	Tsovinan
5	Alpinid
6	Polynesid

Then roll 1d6 + 2d6 for each culture and consult the following table.
