Notes (2016)[edit]
PLACEMENT NOTE At one time in older Traveller stellar data sets, the world (and star) Regulus was located at this hexgrid location; however, the current T5SS data has altered the name of the world in the former location of Regulus to "Basilicus" and changed its primary's stellar type to [M2 III / M3 V].

Interestingly, whereas "Regulus" was the Latin term for a minor king or tribal chieftain, "Basilicus" seems to be derived from Greek "Basilikos", which is related to the Greek term "Basileos", also meaning "king". An alternate historical name for Regulus was "Basiliscus".
