My Fleet
21 Dec 2019Kris Afron
If you've been reading these logs (and if you have I thank you for taking an interest) then you'll know that my ships all have strange, sometimes unpronounceable names.I've been using a language translation app that I found on Galnet to translate ship function specific phrases from English to Klingon (they were a fictional warrior race conceived in the 20th and 21st centuries - over a thousand years ago, you can still see the modern Holovids of the original series which I believe was called "Star Trek" ). My problem is that even I can't remember what the names mean any more.
Well recently I've been reading some ancient science fiction as well and found some great books by a bloke called Iain M. Banks. He wrote about a galaxy wide civilisation called The Culture and the ships had really cool names.
So I've decided to have a ship re-naming and re-identing orgy along the lines of the ships in The Culture. This is going to be fun.
