Line 64:
* ''[[Stargate Universe]]'' gave us Novus (literally, [[Precursors|Ancient]] for "new"), settled by {{spoiler|an alternate timeline version of the ''Destiny'' crew}}.
=== Tabletop Games ===
* ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' is a repeat offender on ludicrous naming, but ''[[Only War]]'' did this subtype deliberately: it's established that Cadians as soldiers from the archetypal Fortress World tend to have very good training and discipline, but rather poor imagination. The former led to many planets being awarded "by the right of conquest" to the veterans of Cadian units to colonize. The latter led to ''dozens'' of places in the Galaxy being named "Nova Cadia" or some variation thereof.
=== [[Video Games]] ===
Line 79 ⟶ 81:
* ''[[Void Dogs]]'' has Nova Hibernia, Nova Caledonia, and Nova Terra (which strangely enough is in the Sol system).
* ''[[The Pentagon War]]'' has asteroids named New France and New Mars.
