In response to "Rules" Joe:

Maybe for the larger, brightest moon:

Phanos,  
 light, bright,  or

Cl�rus,  
 clear, bright. 

Lux, l�cis
 light.         or

For the middle, darker moon which passes between:

Nox, noctis
 night.         or

Atrox, �cis,
 dark, gloomy, frowning, horrible, hideous, frightful, dreadful

I can see infrequent missions on nights when Nox covers
 Clarus and the night is really dark.  This could be a good 
lessons opportunity for all the references to light and darkness.

Found Latin and Greek definitions at the Perseus Project.
Cool for forming character and NPC names.

For the Green planet I like the name "Trelenia".
Comming from a legend that the green atmosphere is actually
a vast green forest covering the entire planet.

One of my players Quantum Leaped in from such a planet where the
houses are Ewok style in the trees and the ground is cloaked 
in a toxic fog hundreds of feet below. The technology is more
advanced than current Earth but no near moons has stalled space
flight attempts.  The character in the party I'm currently hosting
is named Gabrielle (named before Xena aired).  She is not as short
or fuzzy as she used to be, but her fingers are long and she 
has quite a high agility ability.   

I've added the Quantum aspect to my games to allow raids on other
planets as the OLMN wills. 
 Micronac = where Orcs are Betells (beatles) 
and Dragons are giant scorpian like lizards. 
 Aquanis = where Orcs are Snarks and the 
Sea Serpent attacks mostly with mind bubbles or geysers.

Maybe in DR3ed?
