Planets are where most buildings and units (ships and defenses) are constructed.
While players may destroy („abandon“) their own colonies, players cannot destroy each other's planets (only their moons).
Additionally, all buildings on a planet are immune to damage from attacks.1)
Each planet has unique coordinates defining its position within a solar system.
Position within a system affects a planet's temperature - influencing resource production, and its diameter - defining the number of fields available to construct buildings on.
Planets can be renamed by clicking on the planet's current name at the top of the Overview page.
