Help! I need to name the three Alarishi star systems. Note: this is "name the
systems" rather than "name the planets", since we don't have any
habitable planets.  Vishniy Alarishi itself is a Ganymede-sized object
orbiting a brown dwarf orbiting an M class star; the other two stars are just
plain M stars.

For those of you who have just tuned in, the Alarishi Empire is a small,
unofficial power, described as a "libertarian monarchy", which is compatible
with the Official GZG Universe. For more information, see

hmm. how to name stars. well, what sort of names do stars have now? Elvis,
Marilyn, Buster.

seriously. the Alarishi are sufficiently diverged from the rest of humanity
that they might seriously consider names like that. especially Elvis.

It seems like you should be able to get plenty of good names out of L. Neil
Smith's anarchocapitalist books.

How about naming one for Albert Gallatin? Or one of the leaders of the Whiskey
Rebellion?

Thanks, Tom, I'll keep you in mind when it comes time to test the Antimatter
Ortillery.
