Well. Watched "Two Days and Two Nights" again and made effort to listen to Ravis' homeworld's name. Totally different and totally unreproduceable without better equipment and more patience than I have. ("Tituah...somans" was lifted from a list of Species encountered in ENTERPRISE so far from the TrekBBS board.)
I have a brand new speculation to cover up this sad, sorry error.
Yes indeedy!
Since no one else can pronounce the name of their homeworld, and even its inhabitants all use second languages for their own convenience, the homeworld of this species was dubbed "BABEL" by Earth explorers!
Babel's civilization is peaceful and advanced. Its inhabitants (Babelonians?) work as diplomats, interpreters and negotiators throughout local space. Hence, in times to come, Babel becomes the host of more than one important diplomatic conference.
Including THAT one!
Now, somebody stop me from designing a series of four, maybe FIVE, orbiting space structures, stations on which trade and diplomacy are conducted, around Babel, stations which may well be "our last, best hope for ...Peace!"
