I'll be creating a few things and listing them here. I focus on planetary systems mostly from science fiction films and games.

Included planets
-Abydos (by DoctorOfSpace)
-Dakara
-Delmak
-Euronda
-Chulak
-Land of Light
-M4C-862
-Madrona (by DoctorOfSpace)
-P3W-451
-P3X-888
-P4X-650
-Praclarush
-Tartarus
-Vorash

Some of the planets are not solitary in their stellar systems. When making them, I used the generated planets when creating a star and kept them, because the systems would look empty. However, I discontinued the habit of doing this. It takes too much time to adjust the systems and more planets than one in a single system are rarely mentioned in Stargate (Vorash).
Image
This is from the "Exodus" episode, season 4. The innermost rocky planet is not shown, but we can see two orbits on the map, the red orb being Vorash, the Tok'ra base itself. This image also explains the eccentricity I used in SE. Orbit of the third planet is even more unusual, any planets beyond these orbits are more or less procedural.

Image
I used this map for placing the systems into our galaxy. It is by no means official or even accurate. For example Chulak is said to be only around 2000 light years from Earth, which doesn't look like that on the map.

Overly terraformed Solar system
[spoiler]
Image-Titan and former terrestrial planets are now moons of Jupiter.

Image-Partially eclipsed Pluto with Eris behind

This is a version of the Solar system with giant planets put into the habitable zone and all thinkable and unthinkable planets and moons put to orbit them and terraformed. There are now 14 habitable worlds in the Solar system, excess water (which is a lot, more than I thought it would be) was piled up to create a new moon named Galilei, otherwise half of the worlds would become oceanic. Most dwarf moons were either discarded or broken up to create rings. I tried to be somewhat realistic. Planets follow the Titius-Bode law, so do some moons. But to be honest, volcanic activity may be excessive on some worlds, not to mention what havoc could tidal waves from all the pull from other moons unleash...

Update 26.8.2018: I recreated this in Universe Sandbox 2 and let it run overnight. Here is a brief log.
22.5 years: Titan missing. Mercury has collided with Earth. Orbits of Mars and Venus are eccentric. Moon is now a dwarf planet.
Later: Moon becomes a moon and a dwarf planet several times over.
63.6 years: Triton hits Galilei.
76.6 years: Neptune's moons stabilize. Mars either leaves Jupiter's orbit or settles just barely out of the Roche limit, depending on the simulation.
60000 years: Disregarding moons, gas planets themselves are stable. However, Saturn's orbit decreases towards the Sun below the habitable zone.
So, not even a lifetime would be safe in this system, except for the moons of Saturn, which are besides some eccentricity, stable.

The addon modifies the Solar system directly, unlike my old Jupiter is a star one.

I renamed some celestial bodies in order to get rid of the dwarf moons very quickly (oh the laziness).
This is the list of new names. In most cases I just exchanged Roman deities for Greek and vice versa.
Hermes (Mercury)
Aphrodite (Venus)
Gaia (Earth)
Selene (Moon) 
Ares (Mars)
Zeus (Jupiter)
Cronus (Saturn)
Caelus (Uranus)
Poseidon (Neptune)
Hades (Pluto)
Discordia (Eris)
Concordia (Dysnomia)

Possible bug: Moons of moons do not get eclipsed by the primary planet, fortunately, there are only two so it's not getting the eyes too sore.
Bug I think I solved: I wanted to name the water moon Galileo, but the star 55 Cancri B suddenly became the Sun's binary. I think it is because one of the planets orbiting 55 Cnc A is named Galileo. Naming my moon Galilei instead appears to be working.

I am glad you like it. :) I have another present.

Update: I created two versions of the "What if Jupiter was a star" scenario. An M6V red dwarf and a Sun double - G2V type star.

An'shur, if you search the forum you can find some of my own Stargate systems somewhere.  Should be Abados, Lantea, and I think Orilla. If you are able to locate them, feel free to include them with your addon.

Thanks! I found Abydos, Madrona and Lantea. If you don't mind, I fixed the orbital periods of the moons of the first two planets, because it took too long for them to orbit the planets.

I included Abydos and Madrona in my addon, but not Lantea, because I found two versions of it on the old forum. pfjarschel's version of the system contains all nine planets. I guess I will just provide a link with both. I haven't found Orilla.

You also mentioned P3W-451 on the old forum. I also encountered a problem with making the accretion disk look as wide as in the series. It ended up accreting much faster than the speed of light. In the end I made it small and realistic, which means not so dramatic...

Regarding distance of Abydos from Earth, 89 light years is probably alright, but it is said to be among the closest planets to Earth, if not the closest (So the coordinates were still usable when first dialed, including that of Heliopolis, with similar address and therefore proximity to Abydos itself) Icarus Base is much closer than that at 21 light years away. Apophis' ship from the episode Within the Serpent's Grasp was only a bit more than 10 light years far when SG-1 gated in. Putting Abydos and Heliopolis systems closer than 21 light years would disrupt the shapes of existing real constellations if not placed to orbit real stars. The closest together I can get them using G or K stars (including binary, not many options here really) would be 10 light years (HR 7703 and Delta Pavonis). I decided to leave Abydos at 89ly away for now.

An'shur, I wasn't sure which 3, so if it was Madrona then I didn't upload Orilla.

Having just checked my files, it was Abydos, lantea, and Madrona, and the Orilla I have disabled for causing problems being so far away.

As for the distances, I put Abydos at the approx distance it should be but it really is up to interpretation with much of the Stargate systems.

An'shur, I did an overlay before of this one stargate map I found on top of the milky way from SE with Earth as a reference point
Image

Given the size discrepancies and how small stars and systems really are this was how I was adapting it to SE
Image


Perhaps this sort of layout or map will be useful if you decide to add other planets, from what I can tell its very loosely based on what was mentioned in the show and on the wiki.

Added Sirius Sector from the game Freelancer. I've been working on it for quite a while, so I hope you enjoy it. :)

Here are some highlights. Not enough to spoil the addon, hopefully.
