Mintara was actually a name from another system I played in for a while.  A friend of mine offline was trying to create a game system of his own.  The Mintara Nexus was the home of the Sol'arns (basically humans) and D'Ganzeans (basically elves), the only nexus where the two races actually got along well enough to co-opt any and all work that was done on a planet in the nexus.<br/><br/>So yeah, I guess you could say it means something.  Though I was not aware that it was a figure from Burmese Mythology as well.  Must go do research.  *goes and does so*
