I am watching too much Battlestar Galactica and Firefly.
On my morning drive to work, I thought, "What if there were a set of planets named after the modes in music? Kind of like how the 12 colonies in Battlestar Galactica are named after signs of the Zodiac?"
Then I tried to ascribe characteristics to each planet.
- Ionia — the major industrial planet, a bustling place.
- Doria — the misfit planet, the ghetto
- Phrygia — the exotic planet
- Lydia — the rural planet
- Mixolydia — Lydia’s twin, rural but trying to become industrial
- Aeolia — the capital of the 8 planets, dignified but corrupt
- Locria — rarely ventured but inhabited
I’m not sure whether to make the relationship between the planets more Firefly than BSG.
