Fornicis Mons montis It totally means something different than what i bet people will think. translates to "archaic mountain"
The planet Hibernicus, inhabited by a bear-like species who make for terrible space pilots... They run the intergalactic fish market, and are always in conflict with badger-like space pirates...
"Cybometropolis"- An intergalactic cyborg underground railroad and paradise. Are you a robot or cyborg on the run? Welcome to Cybometropolis.
My planet is called: tel-Omega (pronounced tel-uhmeguh) And lydia, Is there or a prize? Or is the prize being able to have your planet name in the game?
Planet: Cryptonomicon Earth like, fully automatic defenses, not inhabited The population of Cryptonomicon used to be the top cryptanalytics in the Galaxy. Unfortunately they got so overwhelmed in Cryptography, that they forgot to reproduce... Cryptonomicon is currently run by robots and automated defense systems, which seem to be impenetrable due to the vast amount of cryptographical security. The automated space station in orbit is fully functional though and welcomes the galactic traveller with a luxury casino and spa.
Well, I propose : "Magrathea". It's the name of the legendary planet of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The residents could be The Vogons, a bureaucratic alien race who loves poetry and are destructive aliens, because no one can support thei poems Thank you Douglas Adams fo HHGTTG
my planet Devil's Rock - a harsh planet with mining resources that keep people coming despite the conditions
Midian! I've always thought it sounds like a planet. Failing that, Solaris or Phaedox... which coincidentally have both been used by me in various places.
