The first generation of VAXen were the 11-780 (codenamed Star), the 11/750
(Comet) and the 11/730 (Nebula).

The 11/780's successor was to be implemented in ECL and was codenamed
Venus.  Along with Venus were a two-board VAX implementation (Gemini) and a
one-board VAX (Scorpio).  Gemini was cancelled.  Venus had lots of schedule
slippage but was eventually released, but under the new 4-digit VAX
branding system (it was originally slated to be called the 11-790).
Scorpio became the VAX 8000.
