    • Gaitori System Names

      I need one or two Gaitori sounding system names. I'm tired of calling their outer systems names like Gaitori 3...

      Can anybody help me out?

      I'm not sure where this style came from, but names like 'Grei'toh and Rom'gait are generally acceptable.

      Thanks... Are those two being used or did you make them up.

      (edit) BTW can you (or anyone else for that matter) think of two Obish(sp) system names.(/edit)

      Well, I'd like to point out that those aren't necessarily good system names. If you reread the intro, it specifically states:

      Quote

      Humans, you call us Ishimans.

      Ishima is, therefore, a human name for whatever the Ishimans call their home star/planet. None of the fringe gaitori systems in the game have such names either.

      Just pick cool-sounding names and go with them. For example, I'd be inclined towards calling a gaitori system "Tartarus" to complement the Elysium system.

      "Once, just once, I'd like to be able to land somewhere and say, 'Behold, I am the Archangel Gabriel.'"
      "I fail to see the humor in that situation, Doctor."
      "Naturally. You could hardly claim to be an angel with those pointed ears, Mister Spock. But say you landed someplace with a pitchfork "

      Good point...

      I didn't get the Tartarus Elysium... Must be something I don't know about...

      Think of Tartarus and Elysium as the Greek Myth equivalents of Hell and Heaven, respectively. It's not entirely accurate, but it'll get you the understanding you need.
