I had an idea for an empire called the Bubba Confederacy.

Frigate is a primer-colored old Corvette with racing stripes.
Cruisers could be rusted pick-up trucks.
Battleships would be 4x4's with full gun racks and deer-spotting lights.
Space Stations are trailers. Starbases are doublewides.
Transports could be trailers still on wheels.
Carriers would be fishin' boats.
Weapons platforms would be shotguns.
Troops would be coon dogs and/or professional wrestlers.
And, of course, colony ships would be the Clampett's car from "The Beverly Hillbillies"!

'Course, I think only an American Southerner could do it justice. I've already got a racial history in mind, tho.

Forgot the troops!
