Ship Naming 101
Ship Naming 101
So you have your ship, but you don't like the name or the Hull number. Here is a list of names that were gleaned from the FASA (non-canonical) Star Trek RPG that has a great selection of ship names and Hull numbers. Keep in mind this list has some famous ships in it and while the game lets you call your ship mostly anything you'd like, you might want to avoid using an iconic ship name and find one that is all your own.
