===Spelling and Names===
As with other German products prior to 1997 spelling and names (especially places and units) as well as most abbreviations were regularly adjusted. For instance the ''[[Archer]]'' was renamed to ''Schütze'', the Planet [[Götterdämmerung (system)|Gotterdammerung]] was respelled to ''Götterdämmerung'', the ''[[DCMS]]'' (''Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery'') became ''VSDK'' (''Vereinigte Streitkräfte des Draconis Kombinats'') and so on.
