Names in bold were known in ancient times. Chihazh IX-XI were initially officially numbered, though various alternatives existed. Chihazh IX was named after its discoverer (and today the numbered name is considered obsolete), while the discovery of Chihazh X was a source of controversy, with several astronomers claiming to have been the first to observe it. As a result, different names were used, depending on which claim one believed. Informally it was sometimes known as Dasheftakh "Fought-over Star". Eventually, "Ice Star" was chosen as a neutral name, though the older Twelfth Star remains in use. Chihazh XI was discovered during Dzesa's reign by a Kasshi astronomer who named it after her. Outside of the Kasshi Empire and its allies, "Thirteenth Star" is more popular.
Chimíve
The other star in the system is a red dwarf, of class M5, known as Chimifesh in Classical Kasshian, or Chimíve in Ivetsian. It has a magnitude of -6.2, sufficient to make it visible during the day, but not enough to light up the night.
