Didn't Atlantis call the name first?

Actually the Orion in SG:Atlantis was named after the legendary german SciFi series "Raumpatrouille Orion" from the sixties. It was short lived (only 7 episodes) but badass nonetheless.

The Atlantis producers named their Orion after a chat with a german journalist.

Personally, Terrans should name future crafts after Freespace ships! They should include a copy of Descent: Freespace, Silent Threat, Freespace 2, and Freespace Open on every new computer.

I would love to see a Terran fleet modeled after the Freespace crafts!

I would die and go to heaven to see a Hercules in-action!! I would pay any ammount of money to see an Orion-class Destroyer in-action! I am sure many of us would pay anything to see a Freespace ship in-action before our very eyes!

I would! Even if it only an Apollo, I would pay many many dollars to see one of them!

If I ever become world dicator, I will definately start a space fleet! Expect a Freespace-style fleet based in Sol!
