multiplanet
Spanning multiple planets
Multiplanet describes existence or activity spanning more than one planet.
The term appears most often in discussions of space exploration and human expansion beyond Earth: Elon Musk says SpaceX's goal is to make humanity a multiplanet species.
A multiplanet civilization would have permanent settlements on multiple worlds.
