    Was going over the new planets again and was wondering where they got the name Cyrene so I looked it up in wikipedia. As with all the names on Calypso and a lot of the names in the story lines Cryene is also from Greek mythology and it is also the name of a Greek colony in North Africa (lybia) Here are some pages with info:

    There was also a US navy ship named Cryene, but I doubt that has anything to do with it :). And there is an asteroid called Cryene 133 which was named after the mythical person in the first link.

    Must say this colony looks nice:
