List of local names

List of local names

This is a list of local names, that is, names for stars, planets, etc. other than those appearing on the star map, essentially the names that other species have, usually for their homeworlds, etc.

Sol is the only planetary system on the star map that appears outside the usual scheme of planet names, this is possibly to reflect that the star map itself is a Human creation.

The list here is sorted by species.
