From the Encyclopaedia Galactica, 11th edition: TOKA: Brackney\u2019s Star III. The sun (NSC 7-190853426) is of type G2, located in Region Deneb, approximately 503 lightyears from Sol\u2026 . The third planet appears Earthlike, to a sufficiently superficial observer \u2026 There are three small moons, their League names being Uha, Buha, and Huha. As is customary in the case of inhabited planets, these derive from a major autochthonous language (see NOMENCLATURE: Astronomical). It was discovered too late that they mean, respectively, \u201cFat,\u201d \u201cDrunk,\u201d<\/p>\n

At least \u201cToka\u201d means \u201cEarth.\u201d However, indigenous tongues have become little more than historical curiosities, displaced by whatever Terrestrial speech suits the role of the moment\u2026 .<\/p>\n

Two intelligent species evolved, known today as the Hokas and the Slissii. The former are quasi-mammalian, the latter reptiloid\u2026 . Conflict was ineluctable\u2026 . It terminated after human explorers had come upon the system and the Interbeing League took charge\u2026 . In effect, the Slissii were bought out. Abandoning their home world en masse, they became free wanderers throughout civilization, much to its detriment. (See SLISSII. See also COMPUTER CRIME; CONFIDENCE GAMES; EMBEZZLEMENT; GAMBLING: Crooked; MISREPRESENTATION; POLITICS.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
