Since any given game is going to have only the amount of physics it's DM wants it to have, then its a good bet that there isn't a "right" answer.How many hitpoints should a planet have? Heck, depends on what the DM defines HP as. If hitpoints represent the overall bodily health and "toughness" of a planet might have tens of thousands or more. (depending on what formula your DM wants to use)That said, perhaps the best bet is just not to use a formula at all but simply to assign logical numbers for the hitpoints of a planet. Just give a planet as many hitpoints as needed to survive everything up to the amount of damage you think a planet should be able to take in 1 shot.U_K's "60k" basis in the bestiary seemed about right to me. By the time you can do 60k damage, the foes you fight will be a lot more dangerous.
