Matrix, right?

That one's down to me I'm afraid - I renamed the planet when I colonised
it, and now I can't use it :(

The best thing to do is wait for the GM to come back from his hols, and
get him to manually rename it - this has happened to me in another game
- something to do with the trailing '_', in fact I've got a couple of
planet names I went mad on.

My original idea was to protect these planets through a loop-hole in the
Galaxy coding, but it went wrong.

Hint to Galaxy developers: put some code in to clip planet names, and
remove any trailing '_'s.
