They are referred to as "Serkr Team" in the narrative. "Corvette Division 151, 15th Battle Group" would be their "official" designation.

This is awesome!

If there's going to be a whole set, I'm very tempted to get myself some prints on cloth of those.

Love the badges so far. Maybe you can find a latin phrase for "the best defense is a good offense". :) Might work even better!

I always liked "Nemo me impune lacessit". It's as badass as a motto can get.

Might work for a Jovian vessel or hunting group maybe.

Well, Serkr is basically Steele's personal sidearm.

Serkr is a nord word meaning coat. If anything, Serkr Team's motto should also be in nord instead of latin.

I only speak german and english, but if anyone has a nice nordic motto for them, just write it down here and i put it on the badge.

"Coat"? Like, the thing you put on when you go outside? Wow, that's... disappointing...

It's part of the derivation of the compound 'ber''serkr', meaning (maybe) 'bear coat'.

True. To properly become one of them, though, you had to go out, kill and skin an adult bear by yourself. The coat you make with its skin became a sign of strenght and courage.
So, it doesn't sound that disappointing when seen in context. You can say the Serkr Team wears the 'serkr' of UEF frigates.

Killing bears with beamweapons is a bit overkill, though.

Depends on the Bear.

Tell me, when was the last time you killed an Ursa without using several kilotons of explosive force?

Took a while (and a good chunk of my nerves..), but i got the fs2-models in Photoshop. Gonna make a couple of Squadron-Badges over the next days. ^^
In the meantime, have another Karuna:
