Planets come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and accordingly ~~provides differing~~ materials. Each planet provides five resources, but a few unique resources only exist on a single planet ~~each~~. The unique resources include Autotrophs ([[File:TemperateIcon.png]] Temperate planets), Felsic Magma ([[File:LavaIcon.png]] Lava planets), and Reactive Gas ([[File:GasIcon.png]] Gas planets)

At first you are limited to a single planet, so ideally you need to ~~first~~ figure out what you're interested in harvesting and/or producing, pick the planet most appropriate for that activity, and then look for an example with the right resources in abundance. Note that planets in lower security ~~levels~~ are richer overall - see [[Good Planets]] for some analysis. While you can colonize planets in unclaimed or NPC nullsec (even wormhole space!) you ''cannot'' colonize planets in territory claimed by an alliance other than your own.

[[File:PlanetModeIcon.png|left|View in Planet Mode]]To actually look for a planet you can use several different ~~ways~~.
