Ship naming Thread

By GrandAdmiralCrunch, in Star Wars: Armada

All good names. The ships listed above are all at least Legacy canon. Entries for the Gladiator and Mark 2 Assault Frigate were very limited.

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

I would avoid using Venator and Secutor personally since both are class names for Star Destroyer models but the others are good.

I've always loved the ship name from the 90's cartoon Bucky O'Hare called The Righteous Indignation.

I imagine sister VSD ships one named The Righteous Indignation , and the other named The Divine Retribution fighting alongside each other.

I really like the Ghost of Alderaan :D

Imperial Star Destroyer (or a Harrower, if my feverish dreams ever come true) I'll use the name my gaming group have been using ever since we roleplayed a Starship crew in SWTOR (and then re-used the name for a Guns of Icarus' Galleon):

"The Sword of Devastation"

other ship names for the same group of ships:

"Tyrant's Axe" - (Gladiator)

"Emperor's Claim" - (ISD)

Republic ships:

"The Kraken " (Assault Frigate MK II)

"Mischief" - (Nebulon B)

Not yet sure about others but I'm very tempted to steal some of the suggestions here.

I'd name my Super Star Destroyer the SSD Mutilator.

Bump due to major editing to my post. All of the currently announced Rebel ships are now divided by specific subclass rather then just being divided by model. Also I added some new ones.

So many names! Let's just call them Steve. If done with a VSD, I can then ask at the beginning of the match "oh great and powerful Steve... What do you want?!?"

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

I would avoid using Venator and Secutor personally since both are class names for Star Destroyer models but the others are good.

For all we know, the Secutor class was named after a famous Gladiator class ship ;)

(Note: I might be slightly off on my timeline here.)

I loaned y copy of Stay n Target toa friend so I don't know if it states exactly when the two classes came out. Gladiators were very early empire, Secutors pre Hoth but that's all I know.

I'm definitely naming my Victory mkII either the SS Tengu or Pinocchio
