How the Starfinder Planet Name Generator works
A Starfinder planet name generator for worlds, moons, space stations and star systems. A science-fantasy galaxy needs lots of places, from jungle worlds and gas giants to orbital stations where every species trades. Generate planets, moons, stations and systems for your next voyage.
How the Starfinder planet name generator works
Planets get invented names from strong syllables, Castion or Kalethra, and can carry a numeral for its position in the system or a description like the Storm World. Moons get shorter names and can be tied to a parent planet. Stations get practical, hopeful names, Meridian Station or Outpost Haven, suited to hubs where ships dock and trade. Systems get a grand name or a catalogue code like Vela-118, the kind astronomers would use before anyone visited.
Mixing names and codes
Well-known worlds have names, while distant ones may only have codes. Using both makes a star map feel vast and partly unexplored.

FAQ
What makes a good planet name?
Two or three syllables with a strong sound, like Lyrova or Nosion. Adding a type, like the Ice World, tells players what to expect before they land.
Why do some systems have codes?
Unexplored systems are often only catalogued, not named. A code like KX-602 makes a system feel remote and mysterious, and it can gain a proper name once the party explores it.
How should I name a space station?
Stations are built by people, so they get practical or hopeful names like Haven or Meridian. Adding Ring, Hub or Drydock hints at the station's shape and purpose.
Can I use these in other sci-fi games?
Yes. The names are original and fit any space opera, science-fantasy or hard sci-fi setting, from tabletop games to novels and video game worldbuilding, for worlds, moons and stations alike.
