Greetings, fellow Hiverians!
Following a discussion about standardized naming of Hiverian military units, the CMC has decided to start a creativity contest.
We have a good system for defining a unit by a code, but we still lack "nicknames" for many types. If you have an idea, don´t hesitate to share it with us.
Make sure to provide the unit type you have in mind, too.

Comrade Micha, the Central Military Committee acknowledges the need for a standardized hivean naming of our military units.
Upon reviewing the current naming suggestions the Central Military Committee suggests the following formula:
AB-CDE
A = Hivean signature letter, e.g. H (Hive) or V (Our Chairman, Voltaire) etc. The signature letter applies to all units.
B = Chassis description, e.g. N (Needlejet), C (Chopper), I (Infantry), etc.
C = Attack strength or defense strength where sensibly applicable.
D = Unit function signifier, e.g. A (attacker), I (Interceptor), B (Bomber), etc. Special task force units may be recognized by nickname.
E = Nickname
(Examples: HC-6B Red Apache [6-1-12 Chopper], HC-6X Adjudicator [6X-1-12 Chopper, Nerve Gas], HC-1R Kozak [1-1-12 Chopper, Reconnaissance], etc.)
The Central Military Committee shall see to it that--once ready--an updated list of named units are posted. Meanwhile, corrections and suggestions (for nicknames, etc.) are welcomed.
