a highly advanced planet in the Zeta Reticuli system that is the homeworld of the Reticulans. it has 2 moons and a ring made up of robot drones. The planet is divided into 3 sections:
1. the surface, where cities, reserch laborities and the Reticulans themselves are located. the surface is 90% covered in machinery causing the planet to glow a neon blue, the other 10% are desert.
2. the atmosphere, where ships refuel from hover docking rings and survey the planet from above. the upper atmosphere has several defense ships and space traffic is always on high levels.
3. subteranian zone. cloning pods and educational servers are in the thin part of the subsurface, they are located near the surcace to avoid genetic degradtion.
power stations and water supplies are in the lower subsurface.all are automated and power is fusion and quantum based.
Reticulan is the capital of The Reticulan Empire, a large space civilization that has conquered many planets over the millenia. Earth is a to-be conqered planet as it has a good climate and surfacr area for development.

Reticulating splines started off as an in-joke at Maxis and grew to fame with the widespread popularity of The Sims. While it does have a "real" meaning, this definition isn't actually correct in the context of its use. It's really a programming joke.
Reticulating splines is essentially filler. Don't want to describe what's holding up the program? It's reticulating splines. Why isn't the Internet working? The splines aren't reticulated. Heck, don't want to explain your calculus assignment? We're reticulating splines this week.

The reticulated giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata), also known as the Somali giraffe, is a subspecies of giraffe native to the Horn of Africa. It lives in Somalia, southern Ethiopia, and northern Kenya. There are approximately 8,500 individuals living in the wild. The reticulated giraffe was described and given its binomial name by British zoologist William Edward de Winton in 1899, however the IUCN currently recognizes only one species of giraffe with nine subspecies.
Reticulated giraffes can interbreed with other giraffe species in captivity or if they come into contact with populations of other species in the wild.
Together with the Rothschild's giraffe, it is by far the giraffe that is most commonly seen in zoos. Its coat consists of large, polygonal, liver-colored spots outlined by a network of bright-white lines. The blocks may sometimes appear deep red and may also cover the legs. Giraffes are the tallest mammals in the world.

This system was first mapped out by Betty and Barney Hill after an abduction and thought to be fake but was discovered by astronomers as real in 1967. This star system is key evidence as proof of alien existance.
