The Naming of Names

Back in the Kickstarter I reserved the CMDR name "Mara Jade" for £15.

Mara Jade was a character in the Star Wars Extended Universe novels.  She started off being an Imperial Assassin for the Emperor, but on his death at the hands of the Skywalkers she found herself out of a job and took employment working for the Smuggler Talon Karrde.  Mara Jade soon rose through the ranks of Karrde's organisation and ended up as his second in command.  She was given her own Ship "Jade's Fire".  Then over the course of the next decade went on many adventures and missions with the Star Wars Characters, at one time even being seen on the arm of Lando Calrissian before finally marrying Luke Skywalker.

Mara has been my avatar in Runescape for 7 years so it only seemed fair to continue the tradition in Elite.  I was strapped for cash at the time of the Kickstarter or I wish I had pledged more to get the higher levels of rewards.  So I didn't have enough spare cash to name a planet, a star or an NPC.

So I was simply stoked in Gamma to find that Mara had her own system anyway.  Its down in Empire space about 50 light years from Achenar.  It's my adopted home in the game, and it would be such a shame not to live there and store all my ships there, wouldn't it?

Not to be forgotten, her last name Jade (also the name of my cat), got a look in too, and he has his own planet in the Cemeiss system.
