Description:
Anex Realistic System Names

Around 5000+ System names (5x the vanilla list) that are painstakingly put together from various sources and real names,
removed most of the incomprehensible, Greek, Arabic, and Scientific naming and replaced them with common names for those stars.

Also, I hate the Alpha <starname>, Beta <starname>, Omega <starname>, etc type designations so I removed all alpha, beta type references, so a star like "Alpha Centauri" becomes just "Centauri" in this list, most of the star names are just single word.
This helps a ton with Readability and Pronouncing as well as makes it easier to remember.

Here, is another reason for such naming, since some people really like Alpha, Beta type designations.

"Normally Alpha, beta type designations are given to tidally locked stars or stars in close proximity to one another, e.g. Alpha Centauri (α Centauri) consists of 3 stars: Rigil Kentaurus(Alpha Centauri A), Toliman (Beta Centauri) and Proxima Centauri (C).[12] Proxima Centauri
Now, the DW game generation would never put these stars in any close proximity and doesn’t even generate binary or trinary stars, thus just adds to confusion and unrealistic to name the stars like so at random.
Hence simplified. Hence the title "Realistic"."

I hope you enjoy it,
