I'm working on a WiH TC mod for Starshatter and I've started to build the galaxy and I need a little help with the systems. I've got Sol of course and Gamma Draconis (har har) but the rest I could use some informed opinions on. I'm looking for any ideas about how many planets and moons each system has. The more canon the better but any reasonable ideas will do.

Y'know, this is what we have a Wiki for (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Stars_and_Planets) :P

Yes, I used the wiki to get the star classifications but it does not have planet or moon information for most systems.

There are only scattered references. Gamma Drac is empty, for example. (And you could sort mission backgrounds and count planets.)
Honestly if you just make **** up and remember Gamma Draconis is empty, nobody's likely to notice the difference.

Of course we have the complete map of GTVA territories (http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/1826/fs2hires.jpg), but we have very little canonical info on the content of the system themselves, ie number, position, size, names of planets/moons/whatev. The wiki should contain all we know about that.
I'd say you can imagine whatever you wish for filling the gaps. You might want to search if there are confirmed exoplanets IRL for realism's sake.
