What do you think the most appropriate demonym would be for the inhabitants of Luyten? Luytenian, Luytenese? Luyts?
-
Luynies? :P
-
Luytenese?
I'd go with that one.
-
i vote Luytenian
Luynies? :P
your Luynies FUBAR-BDHR
-
Of course I don't think I'd ever write myself into a corner where I actually had to come up with a new demonym either...
-
Maybe we should focus on the planets rather than the systems, because I'm pretty sure Earth inhabitants aren't referred to as Solians (after Sol).
-
Luytenites.
-
Since everyone proposes different things, I guess it doesn't matter very much. :P
-
Just make sure it's obvious (nothing like Luuurrrs or something) and it should be fine :P
-
People from Sol could be called Solarians, this would also include people from Earth.
-
From what we know (and what is implied throughout the FS continuum) the life on Earth is the only life in Sol, so I'm pretty sure that Terran is suitable.
-
Sure, they're all Terrans, but if you're in a civil war or something, you'd want another demonym for them no?

I'm guessing the council would disapprove for possible confusion with salarians.

We didn't have one for the NTF. Making one up would have been easy, but I don't remember anyone actually using "Neo-Terran" in the game.
-
I'm pretty sure Neo-Terran is used quite heavily...
I mean, all their ships were re-designated NT_ instead of GT_ (including fighters)...

If I had a book, you would have gone up at least 100 notches.
I vote for Luytenians.

Nope, it's never used in game dialogue to refer to actual people. However, there is:
"I have 10 thousand officers and crew willing to die for Neo-Terra. The tyranny of your regime is over!" Maybe somebody could be a Neo-Terran in the same way someone could be a Democrat/Republican?

I'd say Luytenian, with Luyt being the short form.

Luyten Leute.
