So far, the most violent planet I've found is Alpha Pavonis 4. The vitals on it are 1404 C, Class 7 weather and class 4 tectonics. Who can find something nastier?

I seem to recall the only planet around Sirius to be a deathtrap, especially considering it's the first planet most people starting the game will visit after leaving the Sol system. I think it has high temp, high tectonics, I know it has class 8 weather, and might even have hostile life to boot.

The first (only) planet of system 192,152. It is so hazardous, you can't even orbit it without your ship melting.

Wait...... Ships can melt if they are too close to planets/stars?
And yes, when I first played UQM and I tried to land on the sirius planet. Well I had a couple of things to say when I landed.
OMG!!!!! ABORT!!!! ABORT!!!!!! *boomsplode*

Where is this kind of planet data actually stored? I did a search for "pavonis" in the source code but found nothing.

More information...

I'd say Mercury is the most dangerous, because you get told to go there, and before you have any lander enhancements. You could potentially waste lots of crew and several landers on Mercury in the (mistaken!) belief that it's necessary in order to advance the game.

How about the planet with the VUX Beast on it?
Delta Lyncis I? The Beast doesn't make it so dangerous, since it is only one. Just like the Vindicator. It can be easily avoided, if not confronted.

Yes, you're right. There's no possible way to find about Io and its much easier-to-take radioactives stockpile, save for exploring (which you won't do before you save the StarBase, since you won't know that it's necessary).
Also dangerous are the Alpha Centauri planets. After Sirius, that star is your first destination for sure due to its popularity as the closest star from Sun. (at least the TrueSpace Alpha Centauri, the star in the game is probably another one, even if it's still a red supergiant).
Fortunately, even if you're not going to get minerals from your trip to AC, you'll still meet a very nice - though missing a dialogue line  - person.
