On a different note...
28. Star Destroyer Mark One

edit: oh, that's a STRATEGICALLY bad name, not an IDEOLOGICALLY bad name

"Sunflower" - ROFLMAO That was a good one.

29. Pretty N' Pink
30. Peachee
31. Girlfriend
32. Moonbeam

Atrocities, I think you've got it all wrong. What's worse, being afraid of a fleet of oncoming Devastator dreadnoughts, or the terror induced by the arrival of a group of Fluffy Bunnies?

41. Bullseye
40. Aimhere
39. Anonymous Red Shirted Crewman
38. Unlucky
37. Oops

But why stick to namby-pamby names?

I've got a whole names file full of 'extreme' names for ships. Beside the obvious like 'Blitzkrieg' or 'Heavy Hitter' I've got lots of ambiguous Catch-22 type names for the general 'I hate this' flavor of war that no 'realistic' empire would ever use.

(Edited to fix the word 'sh-t' in several of these triggering automatic censorship...)
