Proto-Traveller: Cassian Subsector

[daryen]

Two more comments after looking at the map again:

- Planet 0601 has a starport of "3". That should probably be changed to a letter.

- If planet 0410 is worth putting on the X-boat route, then 0609 should be, too. (Actually, 0609 should be included regardless.)

Regardless, it is looking good!

 

[robject]

0601: Nice catch.
0609: OK. (I originally ran routes to worlds with a reasonably high TL and a Naval base).

Cassian World Name for the Day: Rimlaa. Which world should it be attached to? I'll stick it onto 0101 until someone has a better suggestion.

Daryen and Jame, got a world name for the day?

I am thinking some poor world that is about to be screwed should be named Cassandra.

Looking through the various results of googling "Cassian", and ignoring the "actor", I found some neat names:
- Marcellus
- Chrysostom
- Gelasius
- Evagrius

All of these, of course, should be associated with members of the Cassian Federation.

For Isis worlds, just look for cool names of Egyptian gods. Especially if they are applied ironicly. Like naming an irrelevant world Osiris.

Cassiope and Horus (this outta go on the other side of the Concordat from Isis, and if not then be one of the A-ports next to it). Plus maybe Irregulus in the Federation.

 

[robject]

I'd suggest the Cassianitic worldnames be located close to Cassian, to reflect their oneness in culture (i.e. to justify their names):

0304 Marcellus
0404 Chrysostom
0504 Gelasius
0503 Evagrius
0402 Irregulus

Similarly with Cassiope and Horus, though I'm less certain here.

0607 Cassiope
0608 Horus
0708 Osiris (ironic enough?)

I'd suggest removing 0503 D000000-0 and putting in either 0704 B675426-C N, S, GG Xx or 0705 E3115338 GG Xx. Perhaps you could put one of them in 0503 and switch whichever to Alliegiance Cf. If you did, I'm thinking take 0705 and keep the name Evagrius (i.e. it's an E-port, but populated with not too much tech).

 

[robject]

Done. The data for 0503 has been replaced by the data for 0705, and the system has been aligned Cf.

I have tentatively named 0102 Corlano (from Zelazny's short story "itself surprised"), and 0105 Korrika. The two possibly share a cognate root in their names, /kor/, from some local (human?) language.

Sounds good to me. Here's another: Sek Met (Yes, it's from Sekhmet, but I want it to be "new" and "original" for here); also, Delberd and Caidberd. These should be in the non-aligned one. Last comes Hel, from the Norse winter(?) goddess. This could be either Cassian or independent.

 

[robject]

Done. I moved Evagrius to 0602, and made 0503 Hel. Another Worldname for the day: Terene 0307.

Jame, you've got me itching to work on my own subsector.

Another one, and I'm not being too original with it (the last name of an actress, after all): Gershon. However, it's pronounced "gers hon," which is where the originality comes in.
It would be 702, 802, 205 or 405.

Also Heliwit, possibly either 203 or 506.

 

[robject]

0802 Gershon
0506 Heliwit

0203: Coihrt
0204: Relasgias
0601: Atheuse
0604: Drahkkhas
0205: Mauritius
0405: Fenlie
0106: Cassandra (yes, it's pretty much screwed.)
0706: Haathori
0806: Savhnah
0309: Crosset
0409: Nept Hyss
0109: Chanxt
0609: Hephsteis
0410: Bastep (Bahs Tep)
0510: Squased
0610: Isilited
0701: Braggiy
0702: Skaadie
0801: Quietud

Skadi (Skaadie for Cassian) is the Norse goddes of winter. Hel is the Norse goddess of the underworld. No, I won't ask that they be switched, because I think it's accurate...

*Bump* I switched some names around, and if robject ever gets around to updating the map I'd like that 0606 Sek Met be given allegiance Ci instead of Xx, to bring it in line with the original map.

Did anyone else notice that the new map has the Isis Concordat in possession of only two A-class ports? Maybe they're trying to bring 0607 Cassiope up to it?

 

[Jame]

*Bump*

Hey Rob, would you be willing to update the map, please?
