Making up some stuff for something(s) I might write.

[Night Fox]

I don't know why I'm putting as much thought into this stuff I'll probably not need as I am, but whatever


Classifications
    Every known galaxy is divided into four sections. A, B, C, and D. The section’s letter is placed after the galaxy’s name when written or said. (e.g. Andromeda B) Each of these sections is further divided into sectors or districts. They mean the same thing. Which is used doesn’t matter, and which one you see others use will depend on who’s using it. This is placed after the galaxy and section, and the specific sector or district is identified by a number following it. (e.g. Andromeda B Sector/District 35) To be completely clear, which term is used will not affect the number. As long as they are referring to the same area, the same number will be used for both terms.
   Each planet or station has a name given to it by either its founders, creators, or inhabitants. But when it is referred to in official documents, it is identified by a unique set of numbers and/or letters called its “ID.” “ID” comes from an extremely old language no longer spoken by any races in any areas. There is no documentation of the language,  and nobody knows who spoke it or when. All anyone knows is that everyone has been using “ID” for this since the beginning of all historical records ever found. The way the ID is arranged will mostly depend on what the structure is. Details follow.

• Research Stations:  B-X. “B” takes the place of any letter. “X” takes the place of any number. The letter will vary with what type of research is being done. The number simply states how many stations there have been of the same type before it. (Meaning that the first one doing a certain type of research is assigned a “0”) For example, G-23 is the twenty-fourth station created for studying gravity.
• Military Stations: PqrstA-X. “Pqrst” takes the place of the first five letters in the name of the galaxy the station is located in. “A” takes the place of the letter for the section of the galaxy the station is located in. “X” takes the place of the number for the district the station is located in. There isn’t a problem with multiple stations having the same ID because there can’t be more than one military station in a district. Not to mention that there are very few of them regardless, usually no more than 25 in an entire galaxy. For example, MilkyC-74 is a station in Milky Way C Sector/District 74.
• Medical Stations: Medical stations are one of only two structures that are, even in official documents, referred to only by their given name. This makes it easier for medical staff and civilians to recognize the station. For example, Harrison’s Belt is the name of one of the oldest medical stations in the Milky Way.
• Planets:  Planets are the second and only other structures to be known only by their given name. For example, Reviqan is a very popular tourist planet in the Triangulum galaxy.

I'm not done
not anywhere near done
for one thing, there's stuff I'll need to go over about why the human names for galaxies and such are being used
I'll also need to come up with a time and date system, because clearly the solar one we use wouldn't work on a universal level

anyway, if something sounds too stupid or like it could just be made better, feel free to let me know how to fix the problem

Pretty cool system.


Also, it's great to over-think things when writing a story. Having a set of rules which you use to create your story makes it more believable and compelling, and less like you're pulling stuff out of your butt. I mean, look at any great story. The reason people are still in love with Star Wars today is because it has such a rich background.

Remember that scene in Episode III where Mace Windu shoots Darth Sidious's force lightning back at him? There's a reason that Mace Windu is the only Jedi in the movies that does this (excluding when Yoda counters Count Dooku's lightning). While it's barely mentioned in the movies, there are several different fighting styles that the Jedis used throughout the series' history. Form I (Shii-Cho) was a basic style based on fencing principles that was used by early lightsaber users. As the popularity of lightsabers increased, Form II (Makashi) was invented as a style geared towards lightsaber dueling. It was at this time that many of the great lightsaber duelists lived. Form II was great at countering lightsabers, but it fell short if blasters were employed, leading to the development of Form III (Soresu). Form III scarified offense to create the ultimate defense. Many people criticized this lack of offensive capability, so the more aggressive styles of Form IV (Ataru) and Form V (Shien) were developed. Form IV focused on agility and speed while Form V focused on Power and Attack moves. Form VI (Niman) was created to be a balanced style between earlier forms and was considered the "ultimate" style. Form VII (Juyo) is an extremely aggressive style that employed the use of the user's and opponent's emotions and force to create a feedback loop of power which the wielder could use advantageously. Each of these forms have a major role in the movies, though they are hardly mentioned. Form I was used by beginning padawans to learn with. Form II was used by Count Dooku who considers it to be the most "pure" form. Form III was used by Obi-Wan Kenobi, who learned it after the death of his Master, hoping that he could prevent the same fate from befalling another loved one by providing the ultimate defense. Form IV was favored by Yoda to make up for his size. Form V is most notably used by Anakin. Form VI is used by generally everyone that isn't mentioned specifically. Form VII is used by Darth Maul and Mace Windu (who is the only remaining Jedi that has mastered it). The reason Mace Windu is able to deflect the force lighting is because of the feedback loop used in Form VII. The use of these forms also apply to many of the other duels found in the movies. Dooku does an excellent job of demonstrating the precision of Form II when he cuts off Anakin's hand while also fighting Obi-Wan. The reason Obi-Wan is able to withstand General Grievous for so long (who is the most proficient Jedi hunter of that time) is because of Form III's ultimate defense. This same reason is why he's able to block Anakin's attacks on Mustafar and direct the battle until he has the high ground and gains the advantage over Anakin.

Sorry that ended up longer than I expected, but it's just that kind of background detail that gives credit to the story when "impossible" feats are accomplished.

why is night fox's avatar so fitting

[Kevin]

I've done something similar as far as the in-depth explaining goes.

Great work so far, it is only celestial bodies but I would love to hear about more things I find interesting like military, space travel, and other life (If any) in this universe.


But hey do what you want. Keep up the good work

I'll talk about them
this is just what I least like to write about
I guess like the opposite of saving the best for last

One other thing I forgot to mention. Having different systems determined ahead of time makes the universe you're writing about seem like it could be a real place outside of whatever your tale is. It also makes writing your story 10x easier because you can constantly refer to a set of facts. You decide your hero must travel off to some distant planet in a plot point you only thought up this morning? Just refer to your system and create a planet that fits within the parameters of the system.

need to get to work
government's up next, military probably after that because it's kinda relevant to it
