The space simulator Elite:Dangerous is getting a new starport called Pratchett’s Disc. Frontier Developments has created the station as a tribute to the British fantasy author Sir Terry Pratchett, who died last week. He was most famous for creating the best-selling Discworld book series.
“At Frontier we have a great many Pratchett fans on staff and we were all saddened to learn of his passing,” said Michael Brookes, Frontier’s executive producer. “The sentiment was reflected by our community so we felt it would be right to remember him in Elite: Dangerous.”
The Discworld series is now in the hands of Terry’s daughter, Rhianna Pratchett. Gamers may know her as the writer behind Tomb Raider, Heavenly Sword and Mirror’s Edge.
