|Ice world composed mainly of water ice. Worlds like this will not have had much heating in the past, forming in the cooler regions of a star system, and have retained many volatiles as solids within their crust.

|Rare, can be found in close orbit around G, F and A class stars.

|Metal-rich worlds like this have a large metallic core, with plentiful metallic ores even at the surface. In places, especially around areas of past or current volcanism or liquid erosion, some higher metals can be found in their elemental form too. Mining is therefore very efficient, so these worlds are highly valued.
