[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Works for me, definitely. [QUOTE]...with "Regula I" being the planetoid orbiting it. That would also mean the orbital was "Spacestation at Regula I".[/QUOTE]The movie dialogue repeatedly refers to the station as "Space station Regula I". While that as such means little, when Kirk asks for scans on the station and the asteroid after arrival, Spock tells the scanners don't work, so there's no way to see inside "Regula I". He then says "As for Regula itself", referring to the asteroid... If we try to keep that within the Trek naming practices, it seems likely that "Regula" is the "proper name" of the asteroid, not the "systematic name". That is, it's like "Earth", not like "Sol III". Consequently, the star would be named anything BUT "Regula"... (Heck, perhaps the star could even be named Mutara!) Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
