Might be nice if we include some stuff like:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebula

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Dwarf Are very common in our galaxy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercluster Perhaps the Ancient Expanse could be a supercluster?

Arack

I have given Arack eight planets, thought it was apt. --James 12:16, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Planet Names

I have randomly taken named from spider species, specifically aiming for words with stronger 'k' sounds. I have listed any changes to the species here, so anyone who is interested in following the process (or wants to find something more appropriate) can do so.

  • Arack, obviously taken from 'Arachnid' and pre-established lore.
  • Malkaridae, unchanged.
  • Flexicrurum, unchanged.
  • Althepus, unchanged.
  • B'hira, pre-established lore, not sure where the name stems.
  • Leclercera changed to Lechklerkara to make it slightly less pronounceable and thus more B'hiran.
  • Aphantaulax changed to Aphantaulacht for the same reason.
  • Tarantulus is a more obvious draw, again, but it might help highlight the origins of the other names.
  • Trichothyse to Trichotiche to draw away from the Latin sound.
