Subject: UNSC class names (was: RE: [OFFICIAL] MORE NEW STUFF NEWS!!)
I've been working on (slowly, in my copious free time) on a UN Fleet
Roster,
to go along with my NAC, ESU, FSE, and NSL rosters (the first three are
at
this point mostly complete or done; the NSL still needs tweaking). From
that
I have these:
GUARDIAN-class ELINT-BDN (has cloaking field, superior sensors, area
ecm; used
to quietly keep tabs on everyone else :)
MIZAR-class battledreadnought
KALI-class strike carrier
EMMONS-WINTHROP-class heavy cruiser (named after glaciers - and there
are more
than enough to go around! :)
ANTARES-class war cruiser
TUFFLEY-class heavy destroyer (actually I envision this as a NAC design
with some ships sold to the UN)
POINT-class corvette
CAPE-class frigate
COUNTY-class scout
I was purposefully trying to stay away from names of people for ships,
as people come and go, names fall into/out from favor, and...because
we have very few names in the future history to deal with as it is.
With this in mind I was sticking to geographic features (points, capes,
glaciers) and other immutables (such as stars) for most of the class
names.
