Silly Rabbit
The Silly Rabbit was a constellation visible from the Centrality. One of its stars was the Coachelle system in the Mid Rim.
Citizens of the Centrality named it for the rabbitlike Lepi who called Coachelle their home. The Flamewind of Oseon often twisted a braid of colorful radiation through the constellation as seen from the asteroids of the Oseon system.
Behind the scenes
The constellation was originally part of a joke created by The Adventures of Lando Calrissian author L. Neil Smith. In Lando Calrissian and the Flamewind of Oseon, Smith writes, "Outside, a braid of raspberry red, lemon yellow, and orange orange twisted through the heavens, across a constellation the locals called the Silly Rabbit." This paragraph refers to advertising for Trix breakfast cereal, whose rabbit mascot would seek out the fruit-flavored food featuring those colors before being told, "Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids."
