    Uber Laboratory

    Two reasons: Can be shortened to Uber Labs and Laboratory is a word that you can recognize in other languages as well (German: Labor, Spanish: laboratorio, French: laboratoire, Latin/Polish: laboratorium, Portuoguese: laboratório).

    I like Uber Foundry or Forge too though. Seems like it might be already used by others.

    So, is there going to be a voting system of some kind?

    I personally like two that have been said before.

    The Foundary
    The Nebula

    I would be happy to see it called either of these!

    I like Nanolathe's "The Galactic Foundry".

    "Uber Foundry" is cool too.

    But Col_Jessep's mark a very good point with "Uber Laboratory", that can transform into "Uber Labs".
    Now, it depends if the system is going to be used on other games.

    If yes, "Uber Laboratory" is a gem.

    (yes, poor editing skills...)
    If no, go for "Galactic Foundry" !

    I feel like this should be "self contained" in terms of nomenclature.
    I know I'm probably in the minority... but the proposed plastering of your company name in front of everything is too narcissistic for me.

    Use a word too often and it loses it's coolness. The word "Uber" is getting a little worn around here IMO.

    Only thing I can think of that hasn't been covered already is "Uber Nanolab" Though since the company itself is called uber entertainment, something like "uber stage" or "nano-studio" might work as well if they want it across as many games as possible in the future.

    Thank you. The best thing about Laboratory is that it has Latin roots (laboratorium) and has a very similar spelling in a lot of languages, especially the big ones. (Spanish, German, Portuguese, French, Italian...)

    If you shorten it to Uber Labs and add a proper symbol there will be over a billion people on the planet who immediately know what you mean.

    How about The Fabrication Station?
    Though Uber Labs has my vote otherwise.
