This article provides a '''list of Spelljammer crystal spheres,''' or [[planetary system]]s, created for the ''[[Spelljammer]]'' (1989) [[campaign setting]]. Notably, ''Spelljammer'' ties in with three other campaign settings—''[[Dragonlance]], [[Forgotten Realms]],'' and ''[[Greyhawk]]''—by placing these settings on celestial bodies in these systems.
 
  
Each system is listed from innermost body to outermost. Unless otherwise noted, all planets are spherical, with breathable air.
 
 
Collectively '''[[Greyspace]], [[Krynnspace]],''' and '''[[Realmspace]]''' are known as the "Radiant Triangle."
 
 
==Greyspace==

* '''[[Oerth]]''': Terrestrial planet and home to the ''[[Greyhawk]]'' campaign setting. (This planetary system is [[Wikipedia:Geocentric model|geocentric]], not [[Wikipedia:Heliocentrism|heliocentric]].)
 
* '''[[Kule]]''': Tidally-locked terrestrial body. Covered with the ruins of a [[humanoid]] civilization, but lacking any air whatsoever. A magical cataclysm is suspected to have caused the depopulation. Also known as Celene.
 
* '''[[Raenei]]''': Terrestrial planet, covered with Earth-like features, including animals and monsters, but no sentient life. Also known as Luna.
 
* '''[[Liga]], the Sun''': Star. Has many small lakes of elemental water to keep it from burning too hot. Larger than Oerth, but orbits it anyway.

* '''[[Conatha]]''': Elliptical water world with two solid cores that orbit around each other. Populated by many piscine creatures, including [[merfolk]] and [[sahuagin]].
 
* '''[[Ginsel]]''': Crescent-shaped world that resembles an apple with a giant bite taken out of it. Has an atmosphere on the inside of the crescent. Basic civilized fantasy world.
 
* '''[[Borka]]''': Spherical asteroid cluster with a common atmosphere. Formerly a planet inhabited by [[orc]]s, [[goblin]]s and other humanoids, it was devastated by the magic of the [[Elf|elves]].
 
* '''[[Greela]]''': Another spherical asteroid cluster with a common atmosphere, although many of the asteroids bear huge forests. Home to the elves.
 
* '''[[The Spectre]]''': A flat, circular disc of rock that appears to vanish and re-appear as it is seen edgewise, then rotates to show its full face. Also called '''the Wink.''' Has an atmosphere and water, but no life.
 
* '''[[Pharagos]]''': This planet, original home of the [[Forerunner]]s of the [[Githyanki]] and [[Githzerai]], is sometimes stated to be part of the same [[Material Plane]] as Oerth.
