Trantor_Class
Most civilized species that achieve spaceflight move their polluting heavy industries off-planet, and humans are no exception. Trantor-class planets are worlds humans have industrialized in an attempt to leave their inhabited planets natural and pleasant. They are typically transformed from worlds that had no indiginous ecosystem to destroy, such as airless rocky worlds or worlds with reducing atmospheres. Sometimes they are terraformed with a minimalistic imported ecosystem (often consisting of genetically engineered bacteria used to remediate industrial waste), but sometimes they are left uninhabitable, with the population confined to bases and domes.
Trantor class worlds are typically heavily mechanized, with most of the industry being done by robotic factories and automated mines. Populations range from a few tens of thousands to several million, and usually consist of technicians, engineers, overseers, and industrialists on temporary shifts from more amenable planets. Trantor class worlds often have exclusive contracts for their manufactured goods, so they are poor sources of trade goods, but they provide a market for natural products. Trantor class planets usually host a substantial aerospace production industry and are good sources for starships and upgrades.
