OK, here is a promised tool.

How to:

first you have to create a game using Stars! with required universe size, planets density and all other settings as usual
then once you have xy, hst & m files (they all should be located in one folder) you can start moving planets
open a turn as usual, select a planet you would like to move and note a planet ID as it shown below the map (like "ID #67")
note a map coordinates you would like to move this planet to (like "X: 1052, Y: 1057") and ensure there is no another planet at the same location
type StarsHostTool <YourPathGoesHere>\<YourGameNameGoesHere>.xy /move 67 1052 1057
tool will then update your xy, hst & m files to move specified planet to the new location.

Remarks:
After the move planet name and all of its' content should be the same, but planet ID will be different.
So, if you like to move the same planet again you will need to obtain its' new ID.

This tool was designed to be used in 2400, but should also work in any year.
It was not extensively tested, so please consider backing up your files before move.

Please let me know of any issues you found.
