What “LV” stands for?

[Nukiemorph]

I've seen many claim that it stands for "Life Viable" but it seems like this is largely fan theory. Has it been confirmed by anything official?

[Local Trouble]

It could be the Roman numeral 55 denoting the sector of space with 426 denoting the surveyed astronomical body itself.

Or it could be the initials of a scientist.  Kinda like how the Andromeda galaxy is also known as M31, with M standing for Messier.

Truth, justice and the American way.

"Life Viable" makes sense.

[SiL]

It wasn't life viable, though.

I like the initials idea.

Location Vector was the first one I heard, but never been able to verify if it was legit.

[SiL]

First one I heard but it never made much sense.

You know, I always thought it was meant to be level. I don't know why I thought it was fitting

It wasn't life viable, though.

I never took it to mean that the planet was already habitable, just that it was close enough to be a candidate for a "shake 'n bake colony."

I have no clue but in the EU, every planet seems to be an LV.

First one I heard but it never made much sense.

Yeah not with only three numbers.

I have no clue but in the EU, every planet seems to be an LV.

Certainly the current EU. Which seems a little silly. Older stuff used similar formatting but with other letters.

Might be landing viable, the computer analysing whether the planetoid has a strong or weak ionosphere.

Funnily enough, I was just yesterday thinking about how in Alien universe  planets have codenames, not names, which adds to the more its more realistic nature in comparision to other sci-fi franchises: greedy megacorporations don't call a planet "Tatooine" or "Krypton"

[SM]

They call them Fiorina though.

[BlueMarsalis79]

Or Acheron.
