I always liked the name Defenestrator for a star destroyer.

Night Caller for the CR-90 (from the Book Wraith Squadron)

Iron Fist for the VSD (Zinsj's first command)

I thought I would find a bunch of names for ships from video games we loved so heres a huge list for you guys

ISD: Hammer

ISD: Vengeance

VSD: Protector

VSD: Stalwart

All names are from TIE Fighter. I am sure EaW has some good names too

EDIT: Found the name list from EaW, edited out names that I mentioned from TIE Fighter

EaW:

VSD names:

I will call him Betty.

Falling Outside the Normal Moral Constraints for my VcSD.

I've taken some time to name the capital ships I'd like to have:

ISD:

Eminence

VSD:

Illuminated Path
Sapphire Lance
Sea of Stars

Not exaclty standard imperial naming, but fitting for a outer-rim/unknown regions advance force with a mission to search and acquire new technology for the Empire

Dantooine, Manitooine, Tatooine, something-tooine, etc etc.

Thats all i got

Dantooine, Manitooine, Tatooine, something-tooine, etc etc.

Thats all i got

Oh, the unbridled testosterone that must exist on-board a ship named the Mantooine .

Dantooine, Manitooine, Tatooine, something-tooine, etc etc.

Okay, you got me smilin' today. Thanks

A useful resource

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dreadnought_battleships_of_the_Royal_Navy

Oh, that reminded me of another good one: Monarch.

Which, if I recall correctly, was the Emperor's flagship ISD in the original TIE Fighter game.

Valiant is a good one too. And Royal Sovereign.

When I was younger I could probably name 50+ ISDs from the EU. Now I could maybe do like...10. I need to find a way to load up one of my old Rebellion saved games, that'd be a great resource.

That was the Star Destroyer Majestic , disabled and almost destroyed by fighters from Zaarin's ISD-I Glory . Thrawn, aboard the ISD Vanguard arrived to reinforce Vader's TIE Defender squadron.

Mining those old games for ship names is always a fun idea, in particular because not many of them make repeat appearances so one has to wonder what the rest of their histories are.

One more entry I could chip into the pile though is the ISD-I Abstention . I used her in my RPG to kind of construct an alternate-universe mirror crew of the Enterprise-D in the star wars universe. Worf was a wookie slave, DA-T4 was merely a droid, Troy was the intelligence officer and trying to hide the fact she was force sensitive, etx. We ultimately didn't revisit the Abstention much but I'd like to bring her to life in Armada if possible.

Ok got some

Assault Frigate mkII- Ghost of Alderaan

CR90- Nerf Herder

Neb B- Sword of Sullust

Possible future ships

Rebel Escort Carrier- Orphan's Vengeance

MC 30 or 40 or 80- Jagged Reef

Dp20- Hungry Krayt

Dantooine, Manitooine, Tatooine, something-tooine, etc etc.

Thats all i got

Oh, the unbridled testosterone that must exist on-board a ship named the Mantooine .

The only Star Destroyer with a dance club...

I started off thinking that Imperial names should sound "evil". Unfortunately, I now can't get the idea of an ISD Barny out of my head >.<

That would qualify as evil for sure...

Looked through Wookieepedia and found A lot of info on the ships coming on Armada. I don't think there is enough room in the first post, so i'll put them back here.

Gladiator-Class Star Destroyer

Demolisher – (Imperial)

Points of Interests -

The Nebulon-B, Corellian Corvette, and VSD all have a fair number of ships on both sides. It would be nice if we had both Rebel and Imperial cards for those ships. Of course that doesn't work as well for the Assault Frigate and Gladiator.

A lot of Corvettes were in groups ranging from 2 to 11 ships. I know it's too late, but I think it would have been better to have the model be 2 or 3 smaller ship, rather than the 1 larger she we've seen so far.

2 of the corvette names are just famous Sports cars spelled backwards.

There might have been some Alliance Gladiators actually. I believe that the backstory for the class mentioned that some were captured by or hijacked from port by pirates and I don't see any reason that the Alliance couldn't have done the same. And the crew size is small enough, between that of a Carrack class Light Cruiser and that of a Strike class Medium cruiser but closer to the Carrack crew size, that the Alliance could find personnel to man any they captured.

As for the corvettes operating in squadrons that happens a lot in some of the PC games but in the novels and such they are usually either operating independently or with one corvette as a single unit within a task force rather then a group of corvettes being treated as a single unit within a task force from what I remember.

If you could point me towards any source for names of Gladiators for either side I would greatly appreciate it. It was a very obscure ship for them to pick so early.

The only named Gladiator that I know of was the Demolisher but since Broadsides were built on the same hull its quite possible that some Broadsides were rebuilt Gladiators so you could probably use some Broadside names?

If in doubt, use the gladiator titles from the Roman days. Here are a few from off the top of my head, though I know there are many more:

Velites

Venator

Retiarius

Murmillo

Equites

Bestiarius

Sagittarius

Provocator

Samnite

Secutor
