Jaque's System
(or "The Bar at the middle of the Galaxy")
The name for the outpost? Don't know and don't care that much.
"The outpost" or "The mine" maybe?
Names are interesting things.
Not long ago I thought about how the names of planets in ED all sound very artificial. Names of settlements, areas, rivers and mountains usually have something descriptive even if hundreds if not thousands of years and a few new languages make it difficult to understand the meaning of the names.
Habitants of an area usually don't name things in a complicated way. They often don't even use the official names for a lot of things. They go to the "mall" and not to the "John Doe Mall", they name their home planet "Earth" and the city they live in is probably called "Someonescastel" or "place where you can cross the river" or "New name of the city where we are from" ….
I would like to see more of those more human names in the game.
I guess the name of the system could be
Elopro - a short version of the real name after humans mispronounced it often enough.
