I haven't voted, because while both are interesting sounding names, neither screams "scifi" to me, both sound fantasy-like in a similar fashion. Would you be open to add something to it? "Oil sands of Elysium" ... "Rust deserts of Elysium" or something like it?
Though I don't think I would worry too much about the name, in my (in no way professional) opinion it just needs to sound catchy, the world will then stand on its own merit. Take the most famous german RPG for example, "Das Schwarze Auge", or in english, "The Black Eye" (without the "hit in the face" connotation, in german that is called a blue eye) ... nothing about this says "fantasy world" ... it is the name of a magic item in the world pretty much noone will ever encounter :)
Another example ... "Fading Suns", a moderately successful SciFi RPG setting / game ... I also think "fantasy" when I read the name.

And may your day be likewise wonderful ... or rather, be much more wonderful than mine, which started out by me pouring my first coffee of the day into my keyboard ... RIP :evil:
