(Please indulge me, I haven't been able to tell a story for a bit.) Fury had been to a lot more interesting rocks than this during his life, but then again, orders were orders. Sitting in an all-too-humid habitat on the surface of Mangol, 1LT Fury was awaiting a status report on the repairs and modifications of the Stormtrooper Corps two support craft. Of course it started when Colonel Anakin had caught Fury watching a shockball game with his feet up on his desk instead of filling out the pile of forms the newly arrived admin weenies had decided they needed. This was after filling out the entire slew of after-action reports from the taking of Lotaith. And after the personnel file updates that had taken most of a month's time. Basically, since arriving at the Army headquarters on Tadath, Fury had only seen VE letterhead and the back of his eyelids. Seeing as the colonel hadn't done anything different himself, he pulled up a chair, forced Fury to cough up the bottle of Savarene brandy he was known to have a stash of, and they finished watching the game with drinks in hand. Once the match was over, he passed over a packet, which included orders to check on the ships. Not a bad trade-off really. For a not-too significant bribe, his assigned pilot had allowed Fury to fly the Mu-2 shuttle to the Rheagant system, enroute to the Lotaith's battered primary, Mangol. Another problem of the returning bureaucracy was this rule that you couldn't pilot a ship without a license...and Fury just hadn't gotten around to figuring out what that would entail. As the Army didn't have any large support facilities of its own at this time, the two craft were in the repair queue on one of Mangol's shipyards. Once arrived, he'd spent a few days checking out the ships and chatting with the engineers working on them. It had been awhile since he'd seen the craft and it had been fun touring them again and seeing the various changes being made. Besides, it made the Navy types nervous having a grunt roaming around their turf. Fury now regretted not bringing his armor. The Marauder Corvette had been cleaned, polished, and updated with the latest military-grade systems. The hangar, with was once meant for Corporate Sector Zeta-19s, had been modified for TIE Droid fighters and a transport shuttle. The Victory Star Destroyer had also undergone a makeover to more of a standard assault variant that the Empire used to maintain. The hull had been strengthened significantly to handle atmospheric drops, and more belly-side weapons emplacements added. The hangars too were modified for a TIE Droid complement. All in all progress was good. The problem was, Fury was waiting for documentation on ships that had no names. This seemed troublesome when every other ship in the fleet, from an SSD to a salvage craft had some form of name designation other than a fleet tag. Something would have to be done about that. Here we go, a chance for you to make some loot. Here's the breakdown, we have our two support ships...a Victory Star Destroyer Mark I (let's say) and a Marauder-class Corvette. They have no names. We need to name them. Since we're being really unoriginal bastiches, so it's up to you troopers to do so. A couple criteria to cover. Details Good luck.

/me looks up..."Been watching Ace Ventura again or is there another context?" Just a note on some of the submissions in my inbox. There's a few good ones there so far, but submissions that are the same name as other classes of ships will probably not be in the final selection list. Also, you can submit as many ideas as you want, when you want. Just remember that I'm getting old so it's hard to read so many words... ------------------ IP: 164.58.10.12 |

First off, if you're gonna go for gods, use Aries, Posiedon, and/or Hades. Maybe Zeus if you get desperate. But while you're at it, why not go for those mightier than the gods, the titans. The only two I know are Cronus and Rhea, but I'm sure there were others. Also, the name Nae-Blis has always interested me(yes, I've read "The Wheel of Time"), so those are my suggestions, I don't care which ship gets which name. SGT Argon Viper IP: 12.96.127.9 |

Great job so far people. I've gotten a lot of responses and quite a few good ones at that. Just a couple requests. 1. While the razzing thus far has been pretty good-natured (i.e. nobody has complained of ill treatment), just make sure you don't cross the line. Since we're all responsible people I'm sure that won't happen. 2. Let's keep the Earthly references to a minimum. This is Star Wars, set just before the Thrawn era. If it's obscure, that's fine to an extent, but the last thing I want to see is the mythological pantheon of 400 different religious deities in the midst of a lot of more appropriate suggestions. 3. That doesn't mean that language references will hurt you. I know some of you are really into anime...see about something from those. Books and movies I don't mind either. A certain submission was composed of Vampire clans...some of which could end up on the short list (which admittedly, isn't that short). The standard Imperial naming convention - ala VSD Disembowler or something - may end up deciding the final selections, but that doesn't mean that other options won't certainly be considered. Besides, let the navy have all the non-colorful names. This is the army...we have big guns with us at all times and don't need a large ship to make us mouthy and hostile. It just helps. 4. Don't stop with the ideas. It's been fun reading all the entries. ------------------ IP: 164.58.10.12 |

Good Lord! Look at the posts. First off, about the mythological references; I wasn't ripping on anyone per se, just giving you a sense of what I was originally looking for. Also, in the case of a repeat, the person who mentioned the name first gets the prize if it is chosen. Simple enough, no? While I'm at it, if Banana is not chosen, I'd like to ask Fish if I can maybe name a freighter that at some point in a story or something. ------------------ IP: 164.58.10.12 |
