This is so amazing! I'm trying to create a few of my planets for my stories and I honestly don't know how to come up with the names for them or the systems. How do you create such beautiful and fantastic names?

I tend to do it off the top of my head.
One thing I do if I'm trying to name something beautiful is to give it a feminine sounding name.
Like making up a name for a baby girl
You could try that. Think of your planet or system as your child
Decide if it will be a boy or a girl and then make up a girl or boy name
How the planet looks can influence too.
If its pretty name it something pretty.
If its harsh, dangerous or mysterious give it a name that sounds harsh, dangerous or mysterious
GOD bless

I like how you can see the character of the planet. It makes me think of satellite shots of Earth.

And what sort of character does Nlia strike you as having?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dry and calm, sunny and laid back.

You mentioned that in terms of character Nlia struck you as being sunny
and laid back and Tkara as exotic and eldritch.
I'm curious what kind of character does C'tek strike you as having?

I'd say that I find myself thinking about Edgar Rice Burroughs and the exotic, off the wall worlds he presented in his novels.

Tkara, with her exotic people and architecture, make me think about the works of Michael Moorcock and the eldritch work of H.P. Lovecraft.

Lovecraft!
I don't know rather to be flattered or scared!

Please be flattered. I know Lovecraft's early 20th Century attitudes toward race and politics don't sit well with today's culture--I certainly don't agree with them--but he was a pioneer of horror and fantasy fiction. I think he would have liked your Tkarites.

What I didn't like about Lovecraft was his promotion of cosmic horror.
The belief that there is no God and that mankind is utterly insignificant.

I believe there is a God, but humanity could use some humility. I don't think we came with a guarantee.

AWESOME JOB!!!
This is just Beautiful!!! This really adds life to the characters Crewmen Tuskaro Alyen, Shylea L’Naym and the race Nlians by seeing the home world were they come from and knowing the history of their world. I love to see that a somewhat harsh looking world could be home to a very caring and gentle race.
