(...) Actually, I think Centauri is another of the Martians from the theme. Another is Pollux. I have counted 10 different Martian figs. Each one has a different color torso/legs. None of them is repeated from one set to the next if I'm not (...) (24 years ago, 12-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.space)

(...) Nah, They're drawing from two different sources. Life on Mars is naming characters after stars & constellations; BG used names from classic Greek & Roman mythology(1).

I'm aware of the correlation between the space saga's and the star names, I was just wondering why those names were chosen over names like Polaris or Centauri, is there a (...)
