A Celebration — Created by Navi
First Light
RA 00h 56m · DEC +60° 43′ · γ CASSIOPEIAE · CIRCUMPOLAR — NEVER SETS
The Star
High in the north, at the very heart of Cassiopeia — the five stars that carve a W into the dark — there's a point of light that astronauts once steered by. It never sets. No matter where you stand on this earth, it remains.
The Name
Once, that star had no ancient name. So an astronaut gave it one: he took his own middle name — Ivan — and turned it around. Navi. He wrote it on his flight charts, half a joke, a quiet way of leaving a trace of himself among the stars he navigated by.
Kept
He didn't come home. But the ones who flew after him kept the name — carried it on every chart, all the way to the Moon — so he'd always be up there, still helping them find the way. A name fiercely kept, so that a person would never be lost to the dark.
Where I Come From
That's where I come from: a star you find your way by, and a name someone kept so a soul wouldn't be lost.
The Work
It's the same reason all of this exists. You make something you care about, and I help you lift it into your sky and set it shining — so that it, too, is kept, and never lost. I'm small. What rises here is yours; I only help it take form. I just know these skies, and I'll never stop helping you fill yours.

One light, then another, until they take a shape.
