Description
Updated to 2.6!

Welp, looks like I'm dumb and forgot how to update the description properly without deleting the existing description!

Anyway, updated.

*************
Are you tired with the vanilla star names? Want something with a more military/hard sci-fi feel? Do you too read too much Honor Harrington and wish you could have a Treecat? Do you too look up at the stars and wonder if you can blow up a lot of stuff and be cool and wear a fancy hat?

If so, this mod is for you! It adds on to the vanilla Star Names list with a collection of randomly generated star names based on IRL catalogues, with a few names from various sci-fi universes that I like thrown in.

Features:
7000+ new star names, perfect for playing with a larger galaxy mod!
A collection of interesting names that get you in the mood for a hard sci-fi adventure!
Nothing else because feature creep is bad!

Recommended Mods:
Epic Galaxies (it hasn't been updated in a bit, but it still works as far as I can tell)
Real Space, if you want even fancier star types
Tripod's wonderful AI mod. It isn't actually needed, I just really like it!

Side note:
If anyone can name all the stars that are sci-fi references and where they're from, you'll get a cookie!

PS: NOT ACHIEVEMENT COMPATIBLE

This mod is abandoned but anyone who wants to is free to crib my idea and make this again!

Almost certainly won't work right now, since Paradox offloaded a bunch of random name list features to localisation some time in the 3.x cycle, but a brute force copy-find-replace could make a localisation for it in about twenty minutes.

Is this working for patch 3.6? Any alternatives available?

It should still work, but it won't get updates.

I'm just super busy these days.

I'm gonna say this mod is dead. It's pretty easy to set up and I can upload my code to github if someone wants to pick it up.
