Shade is a planet owned and written by
Mutt.
Its name is short for a phrase beginning Shade of a grove of trees, and is conferred by offworld visitors primarily to distinguish it from other worlds. The name Shade catches on among inhabitants by the time interplanetary travel becomes commonplace. Most of the time its residents call it simply 'the world', unless they're distinguishing it from others.
