There are over 1000 Starfield planets promised, which is probably far too many to list in full. However, all of them draw from a more manageable pool of characteristics in Starfield governing gravity, atmosphere, life and so on, which we can look into, as well as list what we've seen so far.

While every planet in Starfield has a similar set of key characteristics, they vary wildly to create a vast range of worlds to explore. From barren rocks to jungle covered moons teeming with life. You can survey these locations and, interestingly, a fully completed survey of a planet is worth a lot of money according to Todd Howard. So exploration is potentially a lucrative way to earn cash.

Below I'm going to take a look at everything we currently know about Starfield planets, their classification and more.

Starfield planet stats and details

Starfield resources

Starfield planets have a range of defining characteristics that shape what you'll find there. Some should be fairly obvious, like Type and Temperature, showing what each planet is physically made of, and how hot or cold it is. Gravity is a range of values all shown as a percentage of Earth's standard 1G. 

Atmosphere also has a range of compositions like nitrogen hydrogen and so on, while there's also an M designation which could be a play on Star Trek's M class planets which are hospitable to humanoid life. Mentions of 'thin', 'STD (standard) and 'high' might refer to pressure. 

The Magnetosphere is the magnetic field, if present, and the most important thing here is that it deflects solar radiation - so if it's absent or weak expect to have to deal with rads depending on how far you are from the sun. 

Flora and Fauna covers plant and animal life, and water details what sort of composition of that you can find, if any. 

Finally, and most importantly, there's a range of Starfield Resources - chemicals and elements you can use for Starfield crafting and research. If you find a planet with an abundance of something you need then it's an idea opportunity to build a Starfield outpost with extractors to collect it for you.

Here's all the Starfield planet classifications and variations I've seen: 

  • Type 
    • Rock, Barren, Ice Giant
  • Gravity
    • Expressed as a % of Earth's standard 1G. So 0.5 G is half Earth gravity and 2G is twice that. 
  • Temperature 
    • Cold, Scorched, Deep Freeze, Temperate 
  • Atmosphere 
    • None, Thin CO2, STD N2, STD O2, Thin M, High M, STD M, H2 (Thin, STD and High might be pressure designations)
  • Magnetosphere (Magnetic field responsible for deflecting solar radiation)
    •  Weak, Unknown, Average, Powerful, Very Strong 
  • Fauna (animal life)
    • Marginal, None, Abundant, Moderate
  • Flora (Plant life)
    •  Marginal, None, Abundant, Moderate
  • Water 
    • - Radioactive, Safe, Biological, Heavy Metal, Chemical
  • Resources
    • This covers a wide range of elements like (Iron), AR (argon), Al (aluminium), Li (lithium), Fl (fluorine), Cl (chlorine), Cs (Caesium), N (neon) and Ta (Tantalum); simple compounds like water, He3 (Helium 3) and HCN (hydrogen cyanide), and more complex compounds like SiH3Cl (chlorosilanes), R-COC (carbides), C3Hn (Cyanoacetylene) and more.

Starfield planets 

Obviously it's not practical to try and list all 1000 planets, but I will catalogue the ones we've seen so far, with whatever information we have on them. Letters like A or B indicate a moon around a parent planet of the same name, and often planets take the name of the system they are in. However, that's not always the case - especially in more featured locations like Starfield faction planets - so I've only grouped planets by system where multiple names confirm it, and labeled moons that have their own names. 

Here are the Starfields planets we've seen so far and what we know about them:
