Geography
[Mostly ocean, mostly dry land, mostly temperate (by Terran standards), mostly hot and jungle-y, low gravity, high gravity, oxygen rich or poor. etc. etc. Landmasses.]
Landmarks
- Daya-ilben - the shipyard contracted to build Fleet ships in the Tam-illee's solar system. Destroyed in the First Chatcaavan War.
Flora and Fauna
- Some kind of cephalopod[1]
Government and Politics
[How they rule themselves. Factions. Major points of internal agreement and disagreement. External politics: specific feelings about other worlds/cultures/species. Judicial procedures.]
Economy
[What do they make, buy, sell? Agrarian, manufacturing, high technology, some combination? Tourists? Natural resources and mining? Do they use Fin or have their own local currency? What are their debts, and who are indebted to them?]
Technology
[Energy, communications, transportation. Is their power grid robust? Do they have reliable instantaneous communication? Do their satellites work?]
People and Society
[Demographics. Nations and polities within the planet itself. Satellites and direct, non-independent colony planets. Homeworld, colony, or "other." Languages (make a separate subsection or new page for well-fleshed-out languages; a few words or sayings can stay here). Religions and religious observations (again, can link to more fleshed out pages elsewhere.) Can they move freely, both within and outside the planet?]
Stereotypes
[Could be one or more depending on if they're perceived differently by different groups of significant size. Doesn't have to be a quote.]
Customs
The Tam-illee celebrate their landing on Tam-ley with a week of festivals. At the Touchground Festival on Tam-ley, "wooden poles trailed colorful ribbons braided into stylized helixes as the dancers passed around and through" [their virtual audience]. A dancer on a platform leads the dance, wearing a silver footed body-suit and a gauze skirt, carrying an arctic fox mask and a human mask. [2]

Famous Figures
[For "people who are notable on this planet, who may or may not appear in an actual book." Tangerina Warbelworth the excellent coffee purveyor doesn't go here, unless her coffee dynasty was important to the planet and/or plot."]
Characters
- Sehvi trained in medicine here, as well as Kovihs, and they were residents of the planet until the First Chatcaavan War's end.
Appearances
[For usefulness's sake, should probably be restricted to when we actually go the planet/the planet's system in a book, otherwise this will rapidly become useless for e.g. the Eldritch homeworld which is mentioned in many more books than it's seen in.]
