# Luminous

A subsidiary (spin-off project) of [Ultraviolet Industries, Inc](https://birdsonguniverse.com/books/extranational-political-entities/page/ultraviolet-industries-inc). It is headed by Ashvik.   
  
Originally, she hoped to name it "Lumen" as a reference to light, but gave this up as it had already been copyright-claimed and the owner wouldn't budge. Then she went for "Luminos", but nobody pronounced it the way she hoped (they kept pronouncing it as Loo-MEE-nose). Luminous was her third choice, which she stuck with.
