Instead, I can only think that this is meant to be a veiled reference to Starship Troopers, in which the alien enemies are called “bugs”. A more subtle homage might have been to call the planet Klendathu, or OM-1, or even Rokusan. “Bughunt” just sounds misplaced. It’s a noun for an activity, not a noun of location.
