"Vestian Bat."

That's the name of our ship.

Yes we "inherited" the ship from an NPC and if I recall correctly, one of the other players came up with the name . . . not really understanding what the word "Vestian" really means.

So in game we're making it work but when I asked our group about the origin and meaning of the name "Vestian Bat" which means "Religiously Pure Virginal Winged Mammal," a) they all busted out laughing, and b) we didn't have an answer. Even the GM has been very quiet on this subject.

The running gag now is that this ship was named after one of the former girlfriends of the former owner.

Yes, I really want to change the name of the ship. In game we haven't had time and there's the re-registration fees associated with that. And we'd have to buy paint and spend the time with the exterior markings. And it might be bad luck to do so. (Yeah, I know. Excuses).

So any rate, what are the names of your ships in your campaigns? (Fun, Cool or . . . otherwise).

Well, we inherited the Krayt Fang, which is about as cool a name as you can get, even if we didn't come up with it!

Dunno about Star Wars, but Mass Effect has a ship called the 'Quib-Quib''... and even worse, the space-nomad Quarians inherit the name of the ship they live on. So the stuffy Admiral who captains the ship has to call himself ''Admiral Zaal'Koris von Quib-Quib'. He makes it a point of honour, refusing to change the ship's name and insisting it is an honourable one, even though others laugh behind his back.

In real life, sailors are usually superstitious types and it's considered bad luck to change the name of a ship. I can see this being the case in Star Wars too.

"The Echo Rising" a modded out Dynamic Class Freighter! My Players love that ship

My players started off in one ship they named The Sitting Duck, a YT-2000. When they stole the Nightflyer (YT-2400) and made it their new ship, they renamed it The Quack of Dawn. I get the feeling they have a thing for ducks...

The Wandering Gundark, a heavily modified YT-2400. For whatever reason, call it the Force or what have you, the dice from my GM hands rarely score a hit against this thing.

In our Serenity game we had a ship called "Pork Soda". Thank you Primus.

Gallows humor rules the day in our alternating weekend campaigns, and thus the two freighters are named "Merry Celestial" and "Tunguska". No ill omens there!

Our main ship is named for the pilot PCs mother, reasonable enough. Our backup ship, which our bounty hunter duo uses for bounty hunting business, is the Plan B.

A campaign from a while back had a group name their GHTROC 720 The Tortuga Queen .

My group has used the "Rabid Wombat" in multiple campaigns and systems for their ship

5 groups, 5 ships.

The "Roger Roger", a Wayfarer-Class Medium Transport that has modified weaponry and a Retrofitted Hangar Bay (was piloted and owned by our malfunctioning B-1 Battle Droid PC "Stella" from way back in the Clone Wars). It's been involved in many war crimes.

The "Nova Hawk", a Loronar E-9 Explorer-Class Long Range Scout, modified with some Smuggling Compartments

The "Gurian", another Loronar E-9 Explorer-Class Long Range Scout, which has yet to be modified (also that group recently stole a Lambda-Class Shuttle from an ISB Agent)

The "Ms. Fortune", a HWK-1000 that's only modification thusfar is a stolen quad laser cannon since the ship comes with no weaponry (the ship was chosen due to it fitting within the price range of 120k or less and is the captain's Obligation; definitely a captain that plays a lot of League of Legends)

Finally, the unnamed as of yet GHTROC-720 Light Freighter, currently unmodified.

My Citadel is named the 'Outlaw Cindy'. I have no idea who Cindy is tho

The last game I ran, my players named their Ghtroc the Gamera

Not mine, but my favorite one I've heard of is the "She's one of ours Sir!"

I gave my party the "Foolish Bantha" for their first campaign.

They have punished me by simply naming their ship "Baby" in this one.

The Jedi Star, a heavily modified CEC YZ-900

In one game I was in a while back, we had a YT-2400 that was named something like the “Centennial Osprey”, IIRC.

In a current game, we had the “Emerald Rancor” (a Gozanti), and Captain Mokksi was the NPC in charge. He was killed in combat in a session before I joined the game, so my character never met him. Our new ship (A CR-90 we defeated and captured in combat) is named “Mokksi’s Revenge” after him.

We had the Flame Ibbot/Laughing Jubba Bird (high profile and low profile names), a heavily modified YT-2400, complete with droid brain BB, also known as Baby; the Wyyyschokk's Venom, a garishly painted Firespray that didn't see much use because of how instantly recognisable it was, and a CR-90 corvette stolen from a Imperial junk world which we renamed The Final Say from The Last Word.

The currently group I'm with have a VCX-100 called the Wraith and a VCX fighter called the Shade (I was tired and had just statted up the ships in under ten minutes so stuck in placeholder names fully expecting my players to change them. They keep meaning to rename them but never found the time/agreed on a name.)

In the very first mission of my long running (7+ years) campaign, the players were sent by their Hutt crime boss to purchase a YX-1980 freighter from a used ship dealer. Unbeknownst to everyone but the Hutt there was a large shipment of glitterstim hidden aboard. They named it the Starscream, which I never really loved but they like it. However when making the deal the party's Zeltron face/force user did what those types are want to do and managed to weasel (with the help of good role playing and a crit back in the d20 system) a free Vaksai starfighter. That one they named Crispin's Folly after the dealer and is still the Zeltron's personal ship.

Then there's the Space Hydra, a stolen stripped down Imperial VT-49 decimator equipped with an experimental gravity well small enough to fit on a ship of that size. That one hasn't worked practically since they stole it after they got greedy and blew out the well by using it too often without figuring out how the thing worked first.

Possibly my favorite is the Prison King, a Nune class Imperial shuttle stolen while escaping a year long imprisonment in the spice mines of Kessel. The party's human space hick/hired gun decided he was going to establish dominance among the prison populace right away (I won't go into details among the polite society of the public forums) and after doing so declared loudly and often during his imprisonment that he was the "Prison King!".

In a WEG Star Wars game many years ago my smuggler, Iben Stark, had a YT-1300 that got badly damaged after tangling with recon TIE fighters. The ship became known as "Iben's Bucket" after derogatory comments about its performance.

Our group has a Wayfarer called the blind side.... they make a point of never turning left if they can help it

The Piper Drive.

Which seems silly, until you realize the captain named it after his wife, Piper, who was sold into slavery and whom he is now looking for.

Or was looking for, I guess. They found her recently. And many jokes were made about the cramped confines and poor acoustical dampening of the YT-1300...

I gave my players a GHTROC 720. The Mighty Space Turtle.

The pilot desperately wants a mission to infiltrate BoSS in order to change the ship's registration.

we have had many over the years in d6 star wars and FFGSW.

the two greatest are both YT1300s

The Gangrel Star.

A ship with the mystical ability to always return to the players whenever the GM required it. Seriously it was destroyed at least 12 times and left on a Star Destroyer more often than that.

The Flippered Rancor

a YT1300 that made others look well maintained with a 1:3 scale picture of a scuba diving Rancor on the outside.

In one game I was in a while back, we had a YT-2400 that was named something like the “Centennial Osprey”, IIRC.

Our Dynamic Class Freighter was called the "Annual Pigeon".

Currently we fly in the "Kova" which is Zabrak (Turkish) for "Bucket".

I always liked the ship names in the Culture novels , such as "So Much For Subtlety", "Just Another Victim Of The Ambient Morality" and "Size Isn't Everything".

Carrion- Spat Fried Steak - or Steak Sauce (Seriously, you don't want to understand the inner workings of that brain.)

"WareWolf" is the best of them.

"Sentinel 621" was my favorite... a stolen Imperial Sentinel that the GM yanked after only 3 days as soon as they realized how hot it was.
