More ProcGen Names adds 5,945 new thematically-appropriate names to Starsector for the game to use when generating procedural content.
These names are used by the game when generating content such as NPCs, star systems, planets, and more!
These include:
Names have been chosen as follows:
CONSTELLATION names are primarily Latin names for animals; STAR names have been taken from Elite: Dangerous (o7, Commanders) from a range of unique star names within 50LY from Sol; PLANET and MOON names are almost entirely from BattleTech lore, which has a staggering number to draw from; NEBULAE names are from a small variety of sources.
STELLAR OBJECTS are things such as asteroid belts, magnetic fields, and accretion disks and are usually named such as $PARENT'S [NOUN]. These nouns have been expanded with additional synonyms, with some sharing nouns (as is the case with vanilla).
FUTURE / MYTH names have been cherry-picked from the new STAR names while also expanding upon the sources of the MYTH names that are found in vanilla.
Similar to STELLAR OBJECTS, WORLD names expand upon the selection of names that are already present in vanilla, with the origin of the names being sourced and then expanded upon.
Examples of the new names include:
CONSTELLATIONS: Arctocephalus, Cynocephalus, Didelphis, Hydrochaerus, Marmota, Neofelis, Paraxerus, Rattus, Setifer, Tragelaphus
STARS: Bhada, Chup Kamui, Fyris Wolds, Karovoy, Orerve, Segais, Sekhemet, Talitha, Tir Peria, Volkova
PLANETS: Arboris, Chaffee, Ganshoren, Ipswich, Kagoshima, Paracale, Roadside, Thraxa, Vestallas, Yeguas
MOONS: Andruyev, Bereich, Coronado, Deons, Foster, Kraygor, Lyris, Reona, Tonegawa, Wrinkle
NEBULAE: Argolis, Betreka, Carina, Friedlich, Hugora, Ionite, Lantar, Mutara, Vasilakis, Yridia
PIRATES: Anansi, Bronco, Hardcore, Lamia, Namazu, Orchid, Proxima, Rebel, Shamrock, Vespid
WORLD (first name): Alejandra, Alvaro, Avigail, Banele, Bastian, Bertalan, Deandre, Delbert, Ichika, Jaclyn, Jozsef, Kamila, Kamile, Larissa, Lorcan, Mahmoud, Malthe, Marya, Nemanja, Patryk, Prakash, Shawna, Sofiya, Sondra, Sondre, Sophia, Sunita, Tatiana, Yaroslav, Zehra
WORLD (surname): Abanda, Amacher, Anderton, Apostolou, Behnken, Bessette, Dumesnil, Homolka, Indongo, Kakehashi, Karadere, Khaimov, Kimmich, Koyamatsu, Levetzow, Massengo, Matsuhisa, Mugabi, Nyombi, Oyadomari, Ragheb, Sabourin, Saleeby, Sandrock, Shirasaki, Skarvelis, Ulusoy, Vasseur, Westhead, Zhtomir
Note:
A new game will be required to see the new constellation, star, planet, moon, and nebulae names, as these names are selected when the galaxy map is generated. NPC names should start to appear once the mod is added to an ongoing save as new NPCs (such as officers and bounties) are created.
Manually Upgrading / Downgrading:
