There are many planets scattered throughout the galaxy. Some are home to civilizations, both current and long-gone. Many hold secrets, be they bases, or mineral wealth, or hidden societies. Every planet is a potential adventure.
Planet names can reflect many things. It might be what the inhabiting culture calls their home, or what a survey team nicknamed the place when it was first discovered. In any case, you have a lot of freedom to create here!
