Base/Unit/Landmark Naming Thread

Wow, that looks very good.

Sorry about not participating much in naming things. I was never good at this.

That's a bleepin' awesome picture. Did you draw it yourself? It's a good think it's a pentagon shape and not a hexagon like the Spartan logo, or I would have burst into tears

Nah, I just saw it on Off Topic somewhere and instantly thought "Cool! Let's make it Spartan."
If only it were hexagon, it would be perfect.

Plus, what to call our 3rd Ogre - and the Unity Rover down there with R-112?

For the Ogre, perhaps we could call it "Ymir", after the frost giant of which the world was created in Norse mythology?

Norse creation myth

How would we call the new GH transport? Since no one's made any suggestion yet, I thought a bit about a few options.

One could be Alsvid or Alsvidr. That was besides Aarvak the other horse drawing the sun's chariot in Norse mythology.

Or perhaps we could go with Tiger's Claw or Concordia? Those were spacecraft carriers in the Wing Commander series, in case someone remembers those.

As for the unity rover down south with the Gaians, perhaps we could go for Jade's Jaguars, commanded by Mara Jade. She's a Star Wars character that appears in the Thrawn trilogy, books by Tiimothy Zahn who are kinda episode VII, VIII and IX in the Star Wars series. For the record, while I more or less like Star Wars, I'm certainly not a fanatic of it. It's just that a while ago I added a quote of hers to my Spartan Quotes collection (of which I put one in my signature from time to time), and I can't immediately find anyone else whose name starts with a "J", to go with "Jaguars".

How about The Janissary Jaguars or The Janissary Brigade for one of our units (after all, Sparta has a base named Janissary Rock in the game

Ha ha! It sounds to me like The Jaded Jaguars! And I can see them: a line of armoured vehicles rolling out the camp with all those grunts embarked, fully equipped, and the loudspeakers shouting the Aerosmith song "Jaded!" everytime they go on mission. One guy tells another: "I wonder who 's chosen that song. One can't get jaded on that bloody planet!"

[Maniac]

How about calling our standard missile rover (6-1-2) the Janissary Brigade? I assume it'll stay one in its kind for a while longer, so we could rename it in-game in the unit workshop.

*bump*

Next turn I'll use some random names out of this thread for the as yet unrenamed PK bases.
