154

154 and 154ers is the nickname given by humans respectively to Verknor and to the Verks. It comes from Verknor's name related to its stars's name in the Gliese catalog, Gliese 154.

Humans have given this name to those aliens because their discovery (the event of the first contact with extraterrestrial sentient beings) was one of the most important event in mankind's history and then became a human racial slur towards the Verks when they started emigrating in UP's territories during the end of the other half of the 22nd century. The slur continued to be used through ages until the very beginning of the 24th century. It was then forgotten by human populations.
