Ah yes, I remember those stars, it's really a very interesting story how they came to be named the same thing -- one of these days we should get the story written down...

@Dilvish: are you being witty, or is there actually a nook in the naming algorithm that allows two Kalas systems?

There are only 657 star names in starnames.txt. If you make huge galaxies, there will be duplicates by necessity.
