System // Planet Names
"c128353.1" and "Sol-3h" and "Earth" can all be different ways to talk about the same planet.
Creator Tech identifies a system and planet as follows:
- "c" indicating its a creator id
- A number indicating the order the system was discovered (1 to 400,000+) by Progenitors.
- A period.
- A number indicating which discovery ship deployment it is in that system.
So, we could talk about two planets that have active Discovery Landers:
"c128353.1" and "c128353.2" would indicate two planets had life in system "128353." There could be any number of planets in that system, and 1 and 2 are not necessarily the first and second. It's simply the order the Progenitor ship found them.
For locations, naming is more specific:
- The indigenous/local name of the star
- the order of the planet from the star, closest first, by average distance over its entire orbit
- 'h' if it's a Hub world (has a transpod system)
"Sol-1" would be Mercury, "Sol-3" would be Earth and "Sol-4h" would be Mars (as it has the only transpods in the system).
"Earth" and "Mars," etc.
This is the name the indigenous population gave the planet. For some systems that may have been given by humans who were the first sentient life to settle there.
