OK:P. Good eyes for spotting that. However, we call a lot of things 'her', including ships, planes, cars, golf clubs, and more. Granted, they didn't have any of those things, but apply it to their favorite swords, and the idea holds. I'd imagine that there'd be no reason to apply the same thing to another planet.
