Well, its taken a while, but I've got just about everything I could about the stars of Freespace.  Only four seem not to exist (aside from Vasuda, the only system I didn't even bother with), so this is about it.  And now, in no particular order, the Stars of Freespace.  Enjoy.

Ah, but your task is not yet at an end!    Your list doesn't include both the common and Bayer designations for each star. I think this is important, because Freespace uses a mix of the two.

For example, Alpha Centauri is also known as Rigel Kentaurus, Adhara == Epsilon Canis Majoris, Mirfak == Alpha Persei, Beta Aquilae == Alshain, etc...

I assume you already have this site bookmarked.

[ZylonBane]

Ah, and I just found Talania! Here it is...

Ribos...that name sounds familiar.  Ohh yeah!  It was that planet in "The Last Starfighter"!

Actually, I believe Ribos can be traced back to Star Trek as the likely origin.  Of course, I could be wrong.

[Stryke 9]

Son of a... and I made it into a vital Sol system! I don't have time to change all the Antares references... was it populated in the game?

[Eishtmo]

Populated?  Likely it was the front line during most of the 14 Year War!

[Thorn]

Isn't Vega a relatively young system? I thought it was supposed to be a star surrounded by a nebulae. Ive heard something about it before, cant remember many details

[NeoHunter]

I read somewhere that Vega is NOT surrounded by a nebula but by a disc of dust and gas, probably the start of the creation of planets around the star.

I got my source from a book about space.

[Culloden]

If it's a cloud, it probably is what's left of the nebula it came from. Protoplanetary discs are - well - discs.

Oh yeah, you don't mind if I put this in the encyclopedia too, do you E? You will definaetly be credited for them - right at the top of the document where everyone will see your name.

[Eishtmo]

Doesn't bother me.  This is for everyone to use and know.
