The Name Achird edit

Achird is the name of the star system Eta Cassiopeiae. In 1984 I started to write a novel with heavy influences of fantasy and science fiction. This story happened on a fictive extrasolar planet orbiting the sun-like star Achird A. Later on I started to use the name Achird as an alias at Internet.
