Star Systems, Planets and Stations:
There are billions of planets around stars in Known Space, and
more are discovered daily. As there are - apparently - no limits to the
extension of the Labyrinth, Known Space is just that, the bubble of space
around the Corvosphere and The State that has been explored. Most stars and/or
planets will have a code in their respective races' catalogues, although some
leaked Coalition starmaps have combined both referentials. If the planet has
been visited or is inhabited, a more informal name is usually used.
Examples
are:
XT-22-94, Dirtball, Sigma Delta 4, Evraoh, Bral, Umaets,
Slui'i, The Bazaar, Xin's Fortune, Ahhma Falls, Procyon III, KD - 329, 1889 -
Gamma, Draconis 27, Odin's Eye, The Anvil, Night's Sword
Names:
Names are as varied as the number of stars in the
heavens. Traditionally Corvo names are made of 3 units, denoting proper name,
family and bloodline. Raag names are more varied in structure and do not follow
a recognisable pattern, as they evolved from a non-written language. Iz'kal
names are simple, and harmonious.
All of this said, most sentients will sometimes prefer to be
called by a nickname or callsign.
Examples:
Corvo:
Kai'Xi'Chu, Ko'Fai'Jy, Sio'Hu'Wua, Hao'Gui'Dde
Iz'kal:
Faatin Hassen, Izzat Baksh , Widd Abby, Tayy Zaddi
Raag:
Shoan Ronn , Montyl Javik, Airal Pavan, Hela Berav
Human:
Rutland Evans, Silas Campbell, Evelyn Roberts, Selina Shaw
