Fun facts about the system names!
Hoth and Solo are both references to Star Wars. (I think Solo must be a Wars reference. I can't think of any planets or star systems called Solo in any sci-fi I know of.)
Khitomer is a Star Trek reference.
Lusitania is a reference to Orson Scott Card's Ender series.
Iserlohn is a reference to Legend of Galactic Heroes.
Yuggoth is a reference to a planet in the Cthulhu Mythos by H. P. Lovecraft.
Terminus is most likely a reference to Isaac Asimov's Foundation series (though it could reference other sources as well)
Kobol is of course a Battlestar Galactica reference.
Darwin is most likely a reference to "Darwin IV" from Wayne Douglas Burlowe's book Expedition.
Barrayar is a reference to the Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold.
Altair is most likely a reference to Forbidden Planet.
Skaro's a Doctor Who reference.
Jita's an EVE Online reference.
Caladan is a reference to Dune.
And finally, Z'ha'dum is a reference to Babylon 5!
