So we know the following designations:
Tie = Eyeball
Squin.. I mean Interceptor = Squint
Bomber = Dupe
Advanced = Bright
Defender = Trip
Y-wing = Wishbone (or the more derogatory Pig)
Blink/Blip = Phantom
Monumental Albino Orbital Bantha = Lambda
Cross = B-wing
Skull = Z-95
Slim = A-wing
So what should we call the other ships?
Discuss.
Edited by YwingAceI prefer Albino Space Bison for the Lambda. Someone else used it on the forums and I can't get that out of my head, it's too catchy.

Was it Ghostly Void Bison by any chance?
Correct format for the Lambda is: <some version of white> <some space term> <some kind of ruminant mammal> As in Albino Space Cow.
(I think. But hey, it's the internet and if there's a mistake I'm going to guess someone will feel the urge to correct me. Several times)

I'm not entirely sure who said it, I just remember laughing a lot at it.
B-wing=Cross
X-wing=Pointer
Phantom=Ghost
Just a few ideas

Ahem.
<pedant>
"Ruminant" refers to details of the gastric system used by some, but by no means all, herbivorous mammals as an adaptation to digesting foods high in cellulose. Specifically, it refers to a clade, or a group descended from a single common ancestor, nested within the artiodactyl clade. Ruminants are actually a fairly large and diverse group, including animals like antelope which are agile and highly active.

You wouldn't refer to a shuttle as an Achromatic Astro-Antelope, so your formula is wrong!!!
Except I suppose it wouldn't be all that inapt for Lambda + Advanced Sensors + Engine Upgrade, which means I think I just named that variant...?
Edited by Vorpal SwordI agree, shallow and pedantic.

Sorry. I think I've come down with a case of the Ribanns.

For the phantom I prefer "blink" to keep with the eye theme.
Here is how SableGryphon defined the naming of the shuttle
A note on naming convention. From here on, this craft will affectionately be known by <synonym for white> <space term> <large herbivore>.
In his most excellent shuttle flight school articles

Everyone else is missing the point. Look at the font. LOOK!

See, my understanding was that the shuttle should be named for varieties of cattle. The whale names aren't working for me because the rebel transport has claim to all of those.
For the phantom I prefer "blink" to keep with the eye theme.
Which is why "blink" works so well for them. You blink and they are suddenly much closer to you than you thought they could be.
And stays with the visual organ theme.
