# What's a "betalupi?"
Beta Lupi is a solar system on the [_Endless Sky_][es] galaxy map,
which is the first place I look whenever I need to name a server.
Stellar names (especially those of [Arabic] origin) make pretty good hostnames: they're meaningless (in English), they sound interesting, and the "hyperlanes" that connect them in titles like [_Endless Sky_][es] and [*Stellaris*] look a lot like a network topology.
Beta Lupi also happens to be a real star in the southern constellation of Lupus ([wiki][wiki-betalupi]), but that's not particularly important.
A snippet of the [_Endless Sky_][es] map is below."#;
