Boring (Semi-realistic) Star Names

Description
This completely replaces the name generator for star systems with something far more bland, generic, and boring. This is useful if you don't really like the default names.

The names generated by this mod use mostly real star and constellation names (often derived from Latin or Arabic) and sometimes random numbers to hopefully create names that sound vaguely pseudo-realistic. Due to limitations in the random name selection process it will probably occasionally come up with names that don't look right or make much sense, and especially if you have a working knowledge of astronomy or Latin will probably make you want to delete this mod and then burn my house down. I'm sorry in advance.

This mod also supports "Frackin Universe", so if you don't like how it frequently generates vulgar names, this will stop that from happening.

NOTE AND DISCLAIMER:
If you remove this mod, the names it has generated will still stay in your universe. This essentially means the mod will make **PERMANENT AND IRREVERSIBLE** alterations to your universe when it names any newly generated systems, so if you don't like it, you can't easily make those names go away. I'd strongly advise making **BACKUPS** of your universe before installing this mod, or trying it on a blank universe to see if it suits your needs before applying it to any universe you care about. Likewise, this mod will NOT rename ANY systems that have already been generated in your universe and I don't know of any way to do that. So for a "Completely Boring(tm)" universe, you may want to delete your old one and start over with a fresh universe. It's up to you.

I was wondering, Is it compatible with other mods that add star names such as Alternate Star Names?

Thank goodness for this mod. Those Frackin Universe planet names are so ridiculously annoying. What kind of 12 year old decided on those names, anyway?

Just wanted to say I love you people, and merry christmas. This mod remains as boring as it always has been. :)

Should've just called the mod, "Realistic star names."

Now the number of lifetimes I'll need to find a star named Beta Aquilae is significantly lower, thank you
