Ross 128 b: Have you heard of this real-life planet in Ross 128?
Lately, I've been hearing news about a real-life planet orbiting around Ross 128, called Ross 128 b.

Maybe we should retcon FreeSpace Universe to identify such. SR-5 is actually Ross 128 b. SR-5 is the planet orbited by Outpost Riviera, which was destroyed by the Lucifer according to the FreeSpace Reference Bible.

Is it a coincidence or something else?

We will not be retconning anything.

Well, why Ross 128 b can not be still called SR-5?

Especially because we humans tend to name everything anyway. I do not think that anybody who live in Ross 128 will call this planet Ross 128 b... maybe SR-5 has a much deeper meaning. In rememberance of the fifth colony ship (SR-5) that got destroyed during its landing procedure etc.

Is one of my releases broken or not working? Please send a PM here, on Discord at @novachen or on Twitter @NovachenFS2, a public tweet or write a reply in my own release threads here on HLP, because these are the only threads i am still participating in.

IRL most Stars and planets have multiple catalog names, for instance:

Alpha Centauri,   
Toliman,
Bungula,   
Gliese 559,
FK5 538,   
CD−60°5483,
CCDM J14396-6050,
GC 19728,
Rigil Kentaurus,
Rigil Kent, 
HR 5459/5460, 
GCTP 3309.00,
LHS 50/51,
SAO 252838,
HD 128621/128620,
and
HIP 71681/71683
,

All refer to the same thing!

No reason SR-5 can't be one of Ross 128 b's many other designations.
No reason for it to be either. *shrug*

Whenever I hear a space discovery that is related to Freespace somehow, I freak out and double check if there aren't red glowy things being detected somewhere  :nervous:
