Elite and Science Fiction Trivia - Can you help

Can you name systems and systems stations that have famous science fiction names?

Here's an example

System = Leesti
Station = George Lucas
Fiction = Star Wars

Looking for Star Wars in particular but Alien, Dune, Star Trek, Asimiove etc. would be great too.

Thanks

As in:

System = Lave
Station = Lave

Ok, let me think about it.

How it hanging Ben, How did the Gold thing go? A result I hope.

System: CD-75 661
Station: Kirk Dock

Kirk Dock sells Kitten Brand Coffee rare goods. There's a Picard station nearby but I can't remember the system name.

There's also an outpost called McQuarrie Landing in Empire space but again I can't remember the system name. I'll see if I can find it again.

While we are likely to find sci-fi authors, actors etc, I doubt we'll actually find franchise-specific characters and planets (eg. Tatooine, Arrakis, Kobol, Spock, Betazed, Krypton, Gallifrey) in the game, as these would all be copyrighted. Any that may have slipped through, due to a beta-backer assigning such a name, would be deleted once the copyright infringement was brought to their attention (possibly by the franchise-owner's lawyers).

You might (and probably will) find names that occur in both sci-fi and in Earth history/mythology (eg. Pandora, Apophis, Miranda, Vulcan). In such cases, it's the fault of the franchise for using a public-domain name.

Any more out there? There must be.

Very keen to get some star wars ones and other highly well known science fiction names that are systems and stations.

There are quite a few recognisable sci-fi characters flying around in ED. I've seen Avon (my avatar), G'Kar, Londo, Dargo and many others.
