jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 4.6 db241b88bd refactor(schema): rename biome_summary to planet_class (D-188)
"Biome" describes per-zone vegetation classification (Whittaker table).
"Planet class" describes overall planetary character. The conflation
caused the planet generator to misclassify ~270 bodies as barren.

Scope: systems.db column, schema SQL, Rust atlas code, wiki table
headers (Biome → Class), atlas proposal JSONs, all docs/decisions,
tooling scripts. Also normalizes atmosphere vocabulary (breathable →
standard) and expands planet class mapping to all 26 wiki values.
Unknown classes default to temperate for modder safety.

GJ 146 is a corridor node between Randgebiet at GJ 349 and the mineral-rich but unclaimed GJ 853A. A dim M-dwarf, a narrow habitable zone, a primary world that survey teams have described across multiple visits in the same careful language: marginally habitable, breathable atmosphere, cold, low biodiversity, "adequate" — the particular survey-report word that means technically qualifying and practically discouraging.

The system has been surveyed, assessed, and set aside more times than the archive count reflects, because some survey visits were conducted by corridor vessels rather than dedicated survey teams and were not formally filed. What has been filed consistently points in the same direction: a world you could live on with significant infrastructure investment, in conditions that would require continuous energy input to maintain acceptable warmth and light levels, providing nothing that isn't available more easily and more comfortably at closer distances.

Transit vessels use GJ 146 as a corridor waypoint. The horizon station ticks over. The cold primary world turns below. Nothing human lives there.


Supply Dependency

None.


Faction Notes

No faction presence. Transit corridor between Randgebiet and the systems beyond.
