Umbral Choir Lore Vote 1: Home System Name!

Reply

Hot on the heels of our Lore Making-Of for the Umbral Choir, we're eager to have you take part in the finalization of the faction!



We put on our thinking caps and thought very hard about exactly what kind of name such a strange people would go for, and we think we've got three options you'll like! But first, here's a little more on the home system itself:




The Umbral Choir are outsiders to the Endless galaxy, and [NAME] is their hidden sanctuary from where they explore this new realm. As immaterial wraiths capable of infiltrating the logical foundations of machine and cybernetic systems, the Umbral Choir are masters of espionage, but, equally, are unable to colonize worlds by traditional methods. [NAME] is their answer to this conundrum. A medley of constructed interlocking rings, this artificial world acts as a bridge between the material and immaterial domains, permitting the Choir to fulfill their ambitions of ending the suffering in the galaxy.



This vote will run for two weeks. Here are the three options:

12 266 300

g2g pts

Nexus
Winner

Nexus

8 622 700

Sjena

4 760 500

If the Umbral Choir is going with the single system as mentioned in a previous Dev Blog, then Nexus would be a very suitable name for it IMHO, Being the centre of their empire and thus all of their espionage operations. It's even the centre choice of the vote.
 
 It also works well with the Hi-tech aspect of their homeworld.


Sjena translate to shadow (I guess they started with shadow as an option but wanted it to be a little less generic/edgy) so that’s nice but does not fit as well as Nexus if the system was a Misty, Dark or invisible planet then it probably would, but the Hi-Tech rings make Nexus fit with each of its definitions in different ways.


Nexus also has the advantage of being easy to pronounce by everyone in the same way and not causing spellcheck errors, unlike Sjena.




But disregard that everyone should be voting for The Lööp.

Sjena sounds too soft... sounds like beautiful world with rainbows over green plains and hills...


Nexus .. hmm... heard/read a thousand times in sci-fi... :-/


remains "the Loop" would not be my creation... but my only possible vote.


It should have to be called "Penumbra Prime" ...

Nexus and Loop(tho i kinda like them both) sound too humanoid and not fitting for outsiders to the Endless galaxy so i went for Sjena cuz it's really matching the Umbral Choir faction name.

I was going to pick Nexus until I translated Sjena.  The shadow sounds cool :P

Everyone keeps hating on The Loop, but it keeps reminding me of 'Tales from the Loop', a fantastic art book about the srange technological consequences from the development and use of a particle accelerator (The Loop). 

I didn't come up with the names myself (Slowhands & StoryEngine did) but...



I had a game once with Slowhands, Quaedam, Schell & Wilbefast, and it was a blast! Great system, even though I'm a mediocre DM at best.

While Nexus sounds cool it's way too overused. I voted for Sjena because it sounds more exotic and alien. The Loop is way too simplistic - why is that a choice at all?
