'''Xompar''' is a fictional alien creature that was created by [[Ian Martin]] sometime during the fall of [[2007-08|2007]]. He is a secret agent who works for the New Hirschfeld Espionage Agency. He is part of the species Lyzat, which are smooth-skinned, cold-blooded reptiles that resemble anthropomorphic cats. He is mostly white in colour with several red markings.

'''Ian's Bunk''' is the bunk in the [[Hawking III]] that Ian Martin first used on the [[2008-09]] mission (thus the first one to use said bunk) and used again on the [[2010-11]] mission. Its name is debated, mostly by Ian himself. It was originally named Xompar, after an alien character that he created sometime in Grade 9. He phased out the character gradually, so it made less and less sense to keep calling the bunk that. Eventually he created Andy the Communist Goblin, and decided to rename the bunk Andy. While not an alien, Andy was a communist, and that was a popular topic of discussion among its members.

One of the [[bunk]]s in the [[current]] [[Habitat]], the [[Hawking III]], was named after Xompar. This was changed by Ian during [[Dragan 2011]] to [[Andy]], as Ian Martin decided to retire the former character in favour of promoting the latter.

Xompar, as drawn to christen the bunk

Ian's Bunk is the bunk in the Hawking III that Ian Martin first used on the 2008-09 mission (thus the first one to use said bunk) and used again on the 2010-11 mission. Its name is debated, mostly by Ian himself. It was originally named Xompar, after an alien character that he created sometime in Grade 9. He phased out the character gradually, so it made less and less sense to keep calling the bunk that. Eventually he created Andy the Communist Goblin, and decided to rename the bunk Andy. While not an alien, Andy was a communist, and that was a popular topic of discussion among its members.
