The previous post lists twelve planets visited in four novels. Also, Therayn is mentioned but not visited in A Circus Of Hells.
Lists of planets might become a feature of these blogs. See:
Planets Of The Long Night
Fully Realized Planets
Fully Realized Planets II
Point of view makes a difference to how any planet is perceived:
in Ensign Flandry, Terra is perceived not by the title character but by Lord Markus Hauksberg when he attends the Emperor's birthday celebration at the Coral Palace;
however, in The Rebel Worlds, young Flandry visits Admiralty Center in the Rocky Mountains;
in Ensign Flandry, Brechdan Ironrede, Hand of the Vach Ynvory, surveys his ancestral domain on Merseia (see Merseian Customs) but that planet is also, very differently, perceived by the young Flandry who has become aide to Commander Abrams of Intelligence. See Merseian Scenery.
There is much scope here for rereading and the studying of details. I had completely forgotten Ysabeau and the unnamed planet in A Circus Of Hells.

Kaor, Paul!
And what I recall about Therayn was the Protector Brechdan Ironrede's annoyance at how an unimaginative governor was letting slip an opportunity to annex that planet. Brechdan decided to remove that governor and replace him with a more aggressive successor despite the risk the ex-governor's influential friends in Ardaig (and the Grand Council itself) would take offence and make political trouble for Brechdan.
Ad astra and Happy New Year! Sean
