darkwheeldarkwheelAtius appears across multiple Elite galaxy maps (Galaxy 2, Galaxy 3) and is named after Pawnee creator deity controlling celestial bodies; unique cross-seed inclusion suggests elevated significance.

Only one system from original Elite Galaxy 2 appears in EDSM: Atius. Named after Pawnee creator deity controlling celestial bodies (sun, moon, stars). Etymology significant but absent from real-world SIMBAD astronomy database.
Interestingly there is only 1 system in galaxy 2 that is in the EDSM list Atius: 21 bodies with no GG's with 8. 2 outposts and a planetary outpost Atius is an American Indian deity: 'The creator deity of the Pawnees. He is said to have ordered the courses of the sun, moon, and stars. The Pawnee tribes were so named because the warriors dressed their hair like ‘a horn’. The conception of Atius Tirawa may owe something to European settlers, whom the Pawnees encountered on the Great Plains, but astral worship was always a feature of their belief.' So might be a coincidence, but no sign of this name in RW astronomy at least not in SIMBAD.. Shame I'm 000s of lY away .. YB
Atius appears in both Galaxy 2 and Galaxy 3 maps, suggesting deliberate inclusion across multiple seed iterations and elevated significance.
And in the other galaxy maps: ATEN RAIN Nothing special. Note that Atius (see above) appears in map 3 as well as map 2 YB
