My military bases in frontier systems remain anonymous. These are names I use for my benign colony worlds and if an alien race knows about these, then I am probably already at war with him



Any ancient race will know about them even if they are clear across the map. If they are evil, then they can plot a beeline straight to your soft innards. If you are more evil than them, you will have thought of this and these renamed worlds are really the honey that coats your trap.

Bman, see any of the strategy threads abot how I defend my planets..

.... I am undeniably nasty and sneaky... I am also a lawyer which combination makes me possibly one of the most evil things on this planet after macaroni cheese and line dancing

Halo is my favorite name for a colony, I usually rename my home planet that.

Here's some good ones (I think):
Aiur
Tarsonis
Char
Mar Sara
Styx
Euphrates
Tigris
Babylon
Judea
Canaan

some others I can't think of right now too...

A heavily defended planet that a pbem player was about to attack was renamed HURT.

I liked that name.

The attacking player thought it was funny.
