    My first ship in this Game was the USS Turicum. Turicum was how the Romans called the City (Zurich, Switzerland) i live.

    My ship names are all after women I know, knew, or dated. Though the names change, the Designation Number does not. For the women I named a ship after, I did so as a dedication to them.

    Miranda Class - USS S. Wess NCC 9346
    Constitution Class - USS A. Herrick NCC 912083 - A
    Constitution Refit - USS J. Presley NCC 912083 - B
    Dakota Class - USS E. Royce NCC 912083 - C

    Ship names for my alternate Captain will have a different theme behind them, but probably something similar.

    I play star wars galaxies as my main game and since May 3rd 2005 have run a very large guild there. Even today we have over 447 members inc alts who have logged on in the last 90 days.

    As you can imagine, as deputy guild leader and one of servers main traders and mayors gameplay gets abit hectic. STO is my get away from it all 2nd game lol.

    My guild on SWG is called Unity so my ship in SWG is USS Unity
    Makes sense i guess :)

    My ship is the U.S.S. Rainbow Warrior. It is a Tactical ship in a LGBT Fleet. So I thought it was fitting.

    The name comes from the Greenpeace ship(s) with the same name.

    My primary Cruiser is the USS Absolution. My secondary Escort is the Neverland. The one because it's something many seek, and the other because it's something no one can find.

    USS Resolution: the ship James Cook helmed during his final voyage.

    USS Godspeed: One of the three ships, along with Discovery and Mary Constant, that moved carried settlers to what eventually became the Jamestown colony.

    USS Atlantis: named after both the fabled city and the space shuttle.
