need help - ship name
on: June 30, 2001, 08:56:00 am
I'm working on a new ship for my renders. But I have trouble finding a name for the ship.

Think of a race that hates every kind of armed conflict, even though their technology is far advanced over all other known races.
For a reason beyond their control they have to build this warship, because otherwise the galaxy would be very screwed.
They are neither proud of this ship's existence, nor of it's purpose.

How would they call it?

How about the "necessarius malum". Latin for "necessary evil". Sounds good and and very old to me

Maeglamor: You are thinking into the right direction, but isn't that a little bit too drastic?

Max: I don't know. I want a name that clearly shows that it's a warship, but- on the side- in no way glorifies this fact.

kode: What does this mean?
