As with Hermes, many of these can go a number of ways, but I'd try to
keep
'em UN oriented. There are a fair number of messenger of the Gods. You
can
include Judeo-Christian angels, of course. For Warrior-class, the
Warrior
that oft pops to mind is the parmored cruiser at Jutland. You could call
them Black Prince and Defence. However, I'm not sure they'd be cherished
as
predecessors.
It was trying to keep the UN connection when I offered the other Warrior
suggestions.
Not sure about the UN names for 'messengers'. Envoys? Such as Brahimi?
