While I can appreciate a good rebranding, we should really concentrate on spreading the construction of the Passing Over Fireball to as many a quadrant as possible. That way even if people have objections they won’t raise them in fear of losing their cushy government construction jobs. Remember that many regional governors are facing a tough midterm. They are depending on these Gamorr barrel projects to get re-elected. Let’s make the galaxy great again! ---
