Ok, so I saw something in the COTG Files that had Raze from Alpha Lyrae. But I knew he was from Vega, so i looked it up on Wikipedia and they both seem to be the same star.
So, can I get an understanding on how this fits into the COTG universe?

Same star, different names.
Alpha Lyrae would be the proper technical name of the star, while Vega is the more popular and well-known name.
So to put it in metaverse terms, there has to be some sort of habitable planet or moon or something in that star system that gets colonized and ends up named after the star. My guess would be that people outside the star system use the tem Alpha Lyrae and the locals use the more coloquial Vega (sort of the way any local use his own hometown's nickname.)
Just MO.

So Raze is from the same planet as Thanye and Ahnu?

Also..pretty LOL because I wrote the Promoter's Guide to the Known Universe and I noticed the same thing. I mentioned it to Kris who laughed. Mainly because, who the hell would notice something like that???  Also...I guess you have to remember that Vega or Alpha Lyrae is also home to the Jardii conflict, so maybe the Jardii use the more technical name. Also..these people are some big time wrestling fans because there are two well established promotions working the region, the VCW and the ALWF. |

So Raze is from the same planet as Thanye and Ahnu? Yes. It mentions that the Jardii control most of the southern region of the planet and the the northern region of the planet are mostly secular non-believers. Raze is from the north would be my guess. |

The planets and stars really interest me, as I have assumed that all the names, excluding the dimensions and realms, actually exist.

Aethra doesn't.
That's the one biggie off the top of my head.
Other than that, pretty certain most do.

Well, I did find an Aethra in a space directory. I think it was and asteroid.
