Our home system is J105433, commonly known as “Cake”, in honor of WHC’s relocation on EVE University’s 20th anniversary. While each wormhole system has a unique identifier (usually called a “J-code” or “J-number”, as they always take the form “J123456”), navigating wormhole space solely by using these names would be a nightmare, as they convey nothing about where that system is relative to our home. Instead, we use temporary names which capture where a given wormhole or system is in the chain. Systems are always given the name of the wormhole that lead to it from our home.

Wormholes in our home system are each given a letter. The C2 static is called “A” or “Alpha”, the C3 static is called “B” or “Bravo”, and all other wormholes are given a different letter. ~~Because system~~ names always match the wormhole that lead to them, every adjacent system to Cake is also named that letter. Every wormhole further out is given a number, which is appended to the name of the system it is in. For instance, the wormholes in Alpha might be named A1, A2, and A3, and the wormholes in the system called A3 might be named A31 and A32. If you run out of numbers, just start using letters (so a particularly well-connected A system might have A1 through A0 as well as AA and AB.
