In Response To: Re: And the Answer is... (Tru7h)

: your getting it backwards, they named the planet Chockis, then called its
: wildlife, Chockisen. Now all we need to know is wy the hell they would
: call the planet Chockis (i like home and planet more)

There are planets with all kind of horrible names: Tau Boo, Ups and b (there's also an Ups and c, and an Ups and d), Rho Crb, 47 UMa b (and 47 UMa c), Eps Eri and a bunch of planets designated by an alphanumeric code: HD216435, HD33636, HD196050, etc... So it's possible that the Marathon astronomers could have named the planet Chockis.

If you ask me, I would have named it Tau 7 - but unlike astronomers, I do have good taste for names. So if you want realism, Chockis' the name. If you want scifi, it's Tau 7.
