Zen Naming Guidelines is a convention.

Summary

The Zen Naming guidelines is an informative but compact system. It consists of three parts: The civilization (ZE), Region, and info. The goal is to be a short piece of text but worth reading. If you want, you can use our planet prefix but it's not required. However, the Solar system prefix IS required.

Solar system prefix

Examples

Solar info: Name: Delta Conflict; Low Economy: wealthy Dominant lifeform: Korvax and is located in the Auolub Boundary Region

Should be named "Delta (ZE-A133)"

Solar info Name: Nova Conflict: High Economy medium Dominant lifeform: Gek and is located in the Auolub Boundary Region

Should be named "Nova (ZE-A321)"

System

This system is mostly easy to learn. It consists of four informational parts: The region, the conflict, the economy and the lifeform

The template is (ZE-xxxx)

Region:

We only have 1 region for Zen bBut in the future we are planning to expand.

A: Auolub Boundary

You should place it here (ZE-Xxxx)

Conflict:

The conflict: This is one of the most beloved one from beginners becuse we don't have a conflict scanner at the start.

The 2nd number is the conflict class; to see the different values go to Conflict class. Low is 1, medium is 2, and high is 3.

You place the number here (ZE-xXxx)

Economy:

3: The economy, same story here... As with the conflict, we don't have it in the beginning so this is why the economy is here.

If you want to see the economy class, review the Economy page. Low is 1, Medium is 2, and High is 3.

You place the number here (ZE-xxXx)

Lifeform:

There is a small reason this is here; everybody can see what lifeform there is in the begining BUT this is made so you can find your favorite System using the Database. Its a neat thing, enjoy!

Gek is 1, Vy'keen is 2, and Korvax is 3

You place the final number here (ZE-xxxX)

Planet Prefix

This is not required but recommended so you don't have to fill in the info on the database later

Examples

Information: Name: Goliv Weather: HOT Sentinels: Agressive

Should be named Goliv (H3)

System

Weather

There is some options here

• Hot = H
• Cold = C
• Toxic = T
• Radioactive = R

If one of these are extreme, just put an X in front of it. If it's an Extreme Cold planet, the first letters should be CX.

If it's perfect weather, put an P there BUT if it is cold on the night or it has boiling storms, call it PS.

Sentinels

Put the sentinel level here from 1 - 3

• Low is 1
• Active is 2
• if the text is red it's a 3
