Nice one 
It´s not about having a cool StarWars related name. It´s about having a name that is original. And ur´s definatly is one o.t. nicer ones.
Anyone else?

My Khiraxz name is DEFENDER 1982 cause it looks so much like the ship fromBally Midways classic arcade game.
Ixiyen or however its spelt is named HOTEMISM SUX. Hotemism is a crappy class 5 polymetric radioactive spawn- very low quality currently spawning on valcyn. Bad Rad= crappyordanance. I was stuck for a name and thats all that would come to my mind...

Ship names are in the sig, and I bet you can guess why they're named what they are. 
Just in case,let me'splain. No, 's too much, let me sum up:
A Trandoshan's worth is measured by how many kills he gets in his lifetime from hunts. These kills are tallied by the female Dosh deity, the "Scorekeeper". The tallied points are called "Jagannath Points".
So, there ya go.

All of my ships ( minus the sorosuub ) get named Fremen Ornithopter, or just Ornithopter. My Sorosuub on the other name is named Fremen No-Ship.
Can anyone guess my favorite sci-fi series? lol

My A-Wing is named DEFIANT IV. She's named that because that is the name of the 115 foot king crab boat I use to work on in the winters up in the Bering Sea.We were truely a defiant lot. 
The number IV comes from the fact that all of my previous space ships have also had the same name. Not too creative but definately a reminder of a past life. I'm now a computer geek.

X-Wiing is called the REDEEMER... I was an Imperial previously till I saw the errors of my way and joined the empire.
A-Wing is called the BANSHEE... from the scream of the engines.
My Y-Wing LP is called the BALOR - LP... Balor was a god-creatures from Celtic mythology with one eye, I called my Y-Wing LP with ordance the BALOR - LP HOV... HOV is for Heavy Ordinance Variant
B-Wing... the KATANA... it's a blade of course...
Nova Courier... the NEMESIS... just because...

MyTIE is the 'Discombubbalator'
I've used a 'bubba' theme on all ships so far...not really sure why. I guess I'm trying to hybrid Marvin the Martian with Froghorn Leghorn. lol
