Default Organic Stellar Manipulation

Would you have any good ideas on how I can name the Stellar Manipulation techs and comps for Organic Races in Adamant Mod? Organic Warp Point Manipulation just sounds so dry... These are the tech areas (and you know the components ):

Stellar Manipulation
Storm Manipulation
Planet Manipulation
Warp Point Manipulation
Star Manipulation
Nebula Manipulation
Black Hole Manipulation

"Stellar Manipulations" allows Monoliths and the RW/SW comps directly. It is a prerequisite of the other techs (which also require other techs, such as Astrophysics and Physics).

Well, for storms you could call it "ink cloud" or something similar. Like what squid use.

Techs? Just call them Organic Warp Point Manipulation and get over it. It's supposed to be descriptive.
For components you can have more fun. Such as "Fifth Dimension Canal I" and "Canal Obstruction"

Just figure out how you think they work and a name will present itself. Or you can tell us and we'll make one up for you.

Just some ideas, a few or most of them suck but it's a start...

Tech area names:
Stellar Manipulation: Cosmic Ecomanipulation (changing the "ecosystem" of the cosmos where planets, stars, etc. are "organisms")
Storm Manipulation: Intrasystem Gas Cloud Manipulation
Planet Manipulation: Gaia Manipulation
Warp Point Manipulation: Cosmic-Arterial Manipulation (warp points = blood vessels)
Star Manipulation: Lifegiver Manipulation
Nebula Manipulation: Systemwide Gas Cloud Manipulation
Black Hole Manipulation: Devourer Control

Component names:

Create storm: Gas Cloud Projector (like octopus ink)
Destroy storm: Cloud Dissipation Tendrils (like a fan - it spreads it out and dissipates the storm)
Create planet: Genesis Pod, Planetary Coalescence Sphere
Destroy planet: Eco-Consumption Virus
Open WP: Mobius Tubes (see I told you I'd work that in somewhere! ), Nydus Canal (from Starcraft), Spacetime Hemorrhage Inducer, Spacetime Anticoagulant, Spacetime Herniator
Close WP: Spacetime Coagulant, Spacetime Sutures, Cosmic Kidneystone (j/k)
Create star: Plasma Coalescence Sphere
Destroy star: Plasma Consumption Virus
Create nebula: Stellar InstaGib Device (star "guts" flying everywhere and mucking things up )
Destroy nebula: uh... Galactose Intolerance? I like Cosmic Encounter don't I?
Create black hole: Gravity Acceleration Virus
Destroy black hole: Null-Gravity Virus

There must be a way to have an Organic Stellar Manipulation component to create those funky Organic Infestations...

ROFL! Although that's not quite as funny to anyone who's had one.
