I vote Epsilon because it somehow reminds me of beef...

Should I talk to a doctor about that or something?

New Hope is not a Rip of Star wars.  How ever Cythera is a game i think.

New Hope came from my head lol. I beleive it was in the list of words I posted.

Had some think to do with the hope of Humanity depending on one planet. Plus its a reference to the devistation of New Terra that was the hope of Op2.

Cythera is actually a greek island.

It turns out that many astronomers, instead of saying Venusian (because it's wrong) say instead Cytheran. I looked into it and the root word is Cythera. So I thought, Hey? Why not! :D

Yeah... Cythera sounds awesome. Epsilon's a greek letter, right?
