This thread will be a bit of a mess for a while, but I plan to collect and organize several resources I've used and other people have used for building their planets, races and ships.
Keep in mind that these are in no way a requirement, and are merely here for inspiration if you're a bit stumped or would like to flesh things out a bit better! If you already have a fully realized world, or these don't quite line up with what you want, for the sake of creativity, ignore it.
