The naming of worlds

[Tisifoni12]

Designating the first world colonised in a system with more than one habitable world 'Prime' is yes good and very STAR TREK.

But rather than sticking with Latin (secundus etc.), if there is only one habitable world in the system I go with it's number, Eridani II, Rigel IV, etc. Where it's the only habitable 'world' and the satellite of a planet I generally name it colony, for example Altair colony.

Wonder what others to ?

@Tisifoni12 I think you meant to post this over in the Stellaris forums. This is the Imperator forums. I know some people want to see the map expanded, but I'm pretty sure they stop at China rather than an entire galaxy.

Please PDX forum monitor could you delete this thread.

I have replicated it in the Stellaris forum. Which is where I intended to post it.

If I'm playing humans, I generally give planets meaningful, often mythological, names, like if I know it will be a forge world, I'll call it Hephaestus, use names like New Eden or Elysium for gaia, Atlantis, Pacifica, or R'lyeh for ocean, and Al Azif or Uluru for desert. My first two colonies are usually Terra Nova and (New) Horizon.

Sometimes I'll name a planet New <their old home>, if it's colonized with a refugee species.

When I am playing Humans based on Earth I assume that different continents/countries colonise each new world and they are named after famous leaders.
Therefore I usually have:
Lincoln
Charlemagne
Confucious
Barbur
Saladin
Stalin
Bolivar
Mansa Musa
Etc.

Awww, now look at what you've done! I have to not only read this now, I have to make a campaign with these ideas as well.

Thank you, btw.

You could roleplay the extradimensional invaders as souls from the beyond returning

Funny to note that the psionic Edenists in that universe are non-religious, and opposed chiefly by the Adamists chiefly on religious grounds. There's a lot in those stories that feeds into Stellaris (psionics, uplifting, habitats, traveling by wormhole and warp, etc) but that detail goes amusingly counter to Stellaris cultures.
