[SPACE] Star Generation

I know that page 128 says that garden planets would never appear on brown dwarfs, so what goes there instead when the proximity to the star and system age makes a blackbody temp that gives a garden? I could use an ocean planet, but the roll and the age made it a garden.

I'm not sure whether it would be a garden planet. I mean, photosynthesis would have to work very differently there since most of the brown dwarf's light output would be in the infrared. I'm not a scientist, so I don't honestly know whether it would be scientifically possible.

I am just going to leave it as is until I can get something else that makes sense. Mechanically its fine since it was generated under the rules. I'll just chock it up to another quirk with Space.

I did. I was thinking of the loss of mass to the formation of the planetary nebula in the red giant phase.

And you meant, of course, that solitary stars less than nine solar masses evolve into white dwarfs without going supernova. White dwarfs can go supernova if they are accreting material from elsewhere (Type Ia supernova).

I know that, but I was thinking that they'd be far less chance of any planets forming around a binary with such a small separation.
