We died here by the millions, but then again, we didn't. Here we first tasted immortality, and paid for each rebirth with caved-in chests, guts spread over half an acre, breathing the scent of our own plasma-roasted flesh. We have felt blades made to hack through combat armor sneer at mere flesh and bone. We know what it is to be cracked open and wasted by machines of destruction never intended to be turned on sentient meat. We know what it is to be a suicide, and how insanely blind we have become to the act of faith that represents.
The flesh endures.
Here we watched every soul we have touched in our new lives meet the same fate, often at our own hands. Here we lost the knowing of love from hate. My enemies have become my only brothers, and we will make our fortunes at each other's throats.
You all remember - from your old lives, from before. How it was when you first came home from war. How you could have never predicted that, how you listened to the lectures and the carefully rationed advice from a few kindly vets. And so you became what you were - a dog of war, whose true home was a place that should never be named.
Now this, where in this short time, the idea of home becomes manifestly alien. Is your flesh your home?
Here. This rock. Where we were born. Where we first stood up out of the dust. Where we have learned our true strength.
From here we will leap - and tear down the gods from the sky.
We must honor it, and name it before we go. Only we have the right. Only we bear the duty.

Oh, that's not from anything I think. There seem to be some historical figures named that, but I just like the name Ferdinand (it was that or Frederick) and the frivolous Roman numerals are a necessity for the association of prestige/pretension; or because there are 3 other planets/moons named Ferdinand I dunno I didn't really think too much about it. Just, "Planet? It's Ferdinand IV." |

Not all planets, just most. Home worlds and other historically significant worlds have proper names.
Here's a brief list from Evelopedia:
Quote:Notable planets
Temperate
Amarr Prime, the home planet of the Amarr people. Caldari Prime, home planet of the Caldari people. Chesiette Prime attracted the unfortunate attention of a capsuleer. Fricoure, a once-flooded planet involved in a prophecy. Gallente Prime, home planet of the Gallente people. Goral, a Gallente farm world. Kor-Azor Prime, home of the Amarr royal family of the same name. Matar, the Minmatar capital planet. Mekhios, original home of Amarr Empress Jamyl Sarum. Radonis, an Amarr Royal Family planet. Rumida, an asteroid-impacted planet involved in a prophecy. Starkman Prime, the once-home of a tribe thought extinct.
Nontemperate
Konrakas is a mineral-rich planet. Zorast is a gassy giant near Amarr Prime.
Really, any inhabited planet probably has a proper name, though it may not be displayed as such in EVE or DUST. |

Apparently, despite the fact that the starmap says otherwise, the planet name on the scoreboard in the lobby is the name of a planet in Jovian space, and that planet matches the planet shown outside the window of the lobby. This is second hand however, I haven't bothered to check for myself. I also wasn't in the previous build, so I have no idea if it is the same planet. |

"The Immortal Graveyard" for the formal/lore nickname, anyone? Last I checked, (through a quick search in Google) nothing else has been named that therefore making it an original name for something. Lilith, while it is O.K, (as it fits in with the EVE, Adam stuff) is sort of generic these days.
"Bob" would be a good informal name. |

Sounds about right to me. We were made as servants to the patriarchal sugar-daddies in the sky. But things wil not stay that way.
