Somet Hings, noun, renowned engineer

Somet Hings - n, 2011. Born two centuries before Abedila Curgle, Somet Hings was paving the way for the amazing generations to come with her many contributions to science and engineering.  After graduating top of her class from Glerac Hurglat University with double degrees in engineering and physics, Somat Hings turned her eyes to the sky and never looked back.  Six years after leaving GHU, Somat sought a patent for Gorflax's first inter-planetary spacecraft, capable of making a 225 million kilometer trek in 1 month, almost single-handedly making it possible to explore and colonize other worlds in the Centuron System.
Pronunciation: "So-met" "Hings" rhymes with "rings."

Etymology: 8/19/11

Coruse - n, bustling metropolis.

Coruse - n, 2011. The city of Coruse is located on the main continent of the largest planet in the Centuron system, Gorflax.  Established shortly before the third and final unsuccessful Flaridian incursion, Coruse survived the war by mining and collecting a large quantity of fossil fuels to aid the war effort and supply the Velurig Fleet with industrial supplies.  Currently the second-largest city in the Centuron system, Coruse boasts a population of 6 million humanoid inhabitants, and a further 4 million sentient inhabitants that are otherwise physically classified.  The current governor, Jordel Forbvet, was appointed to the position after his predecessor and uncle, Sedret Forbvet, died at the age of 548.  Jordel is a direct descendant of Abedila Curgle, and cousin to the current Empress of Centuron, Grellis Curgle.  

Under Jordel's leadership, Coruse has received extensive praise for its policies on inter-special and interplanetary relations.  It has set the standard for improved living conditions planet-wide, and orchestrated monumental trade partnerships with major planets across the Centuron system and systems beyond.

Rtight - n, Decorated Soldier

Angrenade Rtight - n, 2011. Angrenade "Annie" Rtight was a highly respected officer in the Centuron System Republic Defense Force.  Born the middle child in an average, working class family, Rtight was encouraged by her parents to pursue an education in mechanical engineering.  After several years as a level-2 mechanic for the CSRDF, Rtight was the technician on duty when the Hargris Rebels attacked the small space station to which she was assigned.  She leaped into the craft she was changing the oil of and turned the hull-mounted pulse rifle to space and the approaching attackers. With two shots, she obliterated a pair of insurgents attempting entry and damaged the bay doors, which prevented them from opening to further attackers.  Rtight received the Defense Force Medal of Valor and a battlefield commission as Second Lieutenant.
