Hazed continues to add new features to all the Sol planets and add special stuff for seasonal promotions. She also works on custom objects for player planets.

Thanks also to Arlene, Carl and Cragon who wrote planets that filled out the Solar System before we put player planets in. Their planets Binary and Cube are now in their own star systems; Jade will have its own system eventually.
