Elite: Dangerous Star Names

Add tons of star names from Elite: Dangerous[www.elitedangerous.com] to your next galaxy.

Not compatible with the Even More version. This version has fewer names, and entirely overlaps that version. Only use one.

GitHub here[github.com].


Star Names:

13000+ star names used in Elite, including:

• All unique named systems
  
• 20+ POIs from the game and the Galactic Exploration Catalog[edastro.com].

NOT including:

• Obvious star catalog systems
  
• Proc-gen sector names
  
• Systems names after real-life constellations (Piscium, Tauri, etc)
  
• Any system name that includes a number, or two capital letters in a row, or starts with one letter and a space

Nebulae:

100+ nebulae names from the game[elite-dangerous.fandom.com] and POIs from the Galactic Exploration Catalog[edastro.com].

Black Holes:

15+ Black hole names from the galactic regions[elite-dangerous.fandom.com] and POIs from the Galactic Exploration Catalog[edastro.com].

Asteroid Prefixes:

250+ asteroid prefixes from real-life star catalogs[en.wikipedia.org] used in the game.

Not achievement compatible.

Load order doesn't matter.

Compatible with everything (unless someone uses the same file names...).

Save game compatible (only affects system generation, 99% of which is done on game start). Safe to remove.


Elite uses a lot of real-life data, so many, many of these overlap with real stars, constellations, and nebulae.

I have removed the obvious star catalog names because I thought names with only a prefix and number (e.g.: HIP 22460, 2MASS J00011398-2925182) are boring and unreadable. The prefixes have been repurposed as asteroid prefixes.

For this version of the mod I have also removed systems that use the genitive form of real-life constellations. If you want to include those (e.g. 63 G. Canis Majoris, CN Lacertae) see the Even More version.
