This is cool, and I keep remembering it when we all talk about the "get out of ship and wander around planets" thing.
Procedurally generated cityscapes.
Generate procedureal maps for the ground and daylight equivalents and it's done. Use different architectural styles for Empire, Federation and Independent (as well as varying stages of development) and job done. Time consuming to initially create the procedural maps, but once that's done, semi-random seeds (fibonacci sequences?) would do all the work!
