Runedarspace has 6 worlds, all very habitable. I find that having fire or
gas bodies to be somewhat worthless. I envisioned the sphere as a home
system for this empire, and figured the early settlers(dimensional
refugees) would choose a suitable sphere to live in. The other spheres near
Runedarspace are a little less hospitable, with a few fire and gas bodies
thrown in to complete the mix of planet types.
