Saint Katherine?

[Stormhawk]

Who is Saint Katherine? I Google it and Wikipedia had a Saint Catherine.

Are they the same person? Why did they name the first inhabitable planet after her?

This is the story of St. Katharine (which I just posted):

In the game, there is no relation between St. Katharine and St. Catherine of Alexandria. However, I stole the name from Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun and he did draw a connection to the real saint.

Was this link always there? If not, how in the world did I not ever find it? That's such an awesome back story to the entire game. It really makes me want to keep on going with the storyline now.. I wonder how the Ares and the Iocrym fit into all of this..

am I the only person who reads that and thinks that Domina is involving humans in disputes that have nothing to do with them?

Random thought Domina is being annoyed by the Iocrym or something in those systems and want to put in powers sympathetic to its cause.

No, I just posted it. I wrote it a while ago (as part of the backstory) but I was going to wait until I got a larger collection of stories. But since the topic came up, I thought I would post it now.

[BTW, I don't have any more stories written down... I'll work on that after 1.0.]

Though many of the stories in the book are exagerated or even apocryphal, all contain a modicum of truth and all have stood the test of time.

Shouldn't that be exaggerated?
