The starter planet is one example of such object. However, building [[EM-Rail_Ejector|EM-rail ejectors]] would be problematic, as the orbiting parent can block the sun, rendering them useless until the orbiting object passes, this decreases the time the [[EM-Rail_Ejector|EM-rail ejectors]] can fire sails, and decreases their effeciency. || | ||

| '''<big>Reverse Rotation (RR)<big>''' || The astronomical object in question rotates in the reverse direction, or clockwise when viewed from one of the poles.|| | | '''<big>Reverse Rotation (RR)<big>''' || The astronomical object in question rotates in the reverse direction, or clockwise when viewed from one of the poles.|| | ||
