Chapter 14 - Mass Effect Style Naming

I'm giving them names as if they were in a world like Mass Effect - the names do not sound like puns and they're not named after the planet. Not every species/Homeworlds name will be changed, just enough to where it makes sense.

For most of this, I threw the species/planet names in a bunch of different ciphers - or threw in words that you can associate with them. Some get used as is, but most got respelled or I only used part of the translated name, or both. Then I pick and choose. (This has taken several days)

Also, I'm using the canon transformation names for this to make it obvious which were changed.

Upchuck - Gourmand - Peptos XII

Ditto - Splixxon - Hathor
