Star Destroyer Names

[Defender_16]

Anyone that's played long games as the Empire knows that sometimes it's hard to come up with names for your ships off the top of your head. More so with Star Destroyer names as it's just plain messy to have your ships running arround with only numbers.

 

A name can inspire fear in your enemy and can make it easier to remember what taskforce was where if you Identify with them.

 

So I've decided to compile a list, not only of official ship names but also ones that sound like they would fit that kind of ship. (This could be handy not only for the Game but for any Fan Fiction writers as well.)

 

[i always name my Destroyers, even when their cost is set to 1, simply for the coolness. ]

 

I'll be listing in alphabetical order and putting the official ones in among the others. (I'll add more each day.)

 

(T) -Thrawn, Served as part of the Grand Admiral's fleet

(V) -Vader, Part of the infamous Death Squadron

(D) -Dalla, Was part of this admiral's fleet at one time.

(Emp) -Assigned to the protection of the Emperor

(SSD) -specific class type of ship

(ISD) -specific class type of ship

(ISDII) -specific class type of ship

(NR) - New Republic Ship

Any ship with this information next to it is from one of the official ship lists, unless there is a * next to that info. In which case that info is merely a suggestion for what it would best suit.

Ooh! Ooh! Dont forget the best Star Destroyer name of all time!!

 

Magic Dragon!!!

 

I kid you not. Stoned Grand Admirals should not be allowed to name their own flagships.

 

Edit: I name all my Destroyers after either Planets, or cartoon characters. In my current game, Thrawn is leading the Empire from the bridge of the Papa Smurf.

lol.. I'm stealing that if we can name ships for empire at war, bad.. the papa smurf's going to lead the empire to victory!

[DarthTofu]

The Pink, the Fluffy, the Donut... Ah,such great Star Destroyers. My personal favorite thing to do is making sentances with massive fleets. Get, like, 50 SSDs in one fleet and make a long, run on sentance about how terrible Rebels are. Whee!

 

Other names: Tentious.

Bob, ect.

[Thrawn90]

Wasn't there a list of Star Destroyer names on Mask's site? Anywho, these are some I've never heard before; good work!

[Grand_Admiral_Thrawn]

Just to point out, the Chimaera was an ISD I and did not serve under Vader. It waas at the Battle of Endor, but it was really under Piett's command.

Let's see, we can go off of this one with Puff, Lung Cancer, Testicular Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Prostitute Cancer, Constallation Cancer, Leo, Virgilo, Pices...

 

And yes, i said Testicular cancer- that's how evil the Empire truly is!

[BadSamaritan]

Prostitute Cancer,

 

This threw me for a loop.....

[Defender_16]

Just to point out, the Chimaera was an ISD I and did not serve under Vader. It waas at the Battle of Endor, but it was really under Piett's command.

 

The ships under Piett's command are not so indirectly under Vader's Command since he spends a great deal of time running arround with a fleet of differing size.

 

The Chimaera ( Spelled Chimera in the Dictionary I was using and on the Destroyer list page I already searched.) is kind of confusing for me.

The second spelling referres to the ISDII used by Pelleaon through most of his career. Flagship for Thrawn, abandoned at Duro durring Shadow Hand, Refurbished by the NR and then stolen and returned to the Imperial fleet. You gotta love a ship like that.

 

I read somewhere about an ISD with the same name and that it might have been possible that it was upgraded to the newer class? I Dunno. One of those things I really don't want to go on a quest to find out about.

 

 

EDIT: My desision to put ISDII next to it is more of a suggestion then, since the ship kicks so much ass in the books, it might as well be a Mark 2 in the game in order to equal the combat level.

 

If anyone else can list some names that sound like they might fit an Imperial Star Destroyer that'd be great. I'll be doing more of 'C' and later some 'D' so if people can look into the later letters that'd be great. I'll then add them to the list in the first post.

Edited October 8, 2005 by Defender_16

[DarthTofu]

In the Zahn books and Dark Tide II: Ruin its still an ISD.

[Ambrose]

I'm currently working on a list of SD names and their class....with what commander I found attached to that ship its a fairly long list and its going to take me atleast another day to get it togeather but I hope it will help everyone out (also note some of the names repeat due to the distruction of the ship if people want me to I can try and find when each of the ships are destroyed)

[General_Crespin]

Here's a link to my list on another forum, Ctrl+F for Binder to take you to the start of my Imperial ship name list, Binder through Vindicator are names that would fit Interdictors (kind of), Adamant through Warspite are general Imperial ship names.

[DarthTofu]

Orlock

Isn't he one of the Imperial characters in Rebellion?

[General_Crespin]

Don't remember where I got the name, but it wasn't from Rebellion, not directly anyway.

[Evaders99]

Orlok was a previous character in the Expanded Universe from the Classic Star Wars comics.

Had to edit that list a lot to get all the text out. Each ship name had a description of the vessel, and where it was mentioned in the star wars universe.

Does "Badi Dea" = "Bad iDea"? (I hope not)

[DarthTofu]

Aren't, like, all of those from SW novels? I deffinately remember Red Gauntlet from Wraith Squadron books.

[Ambrose]

before I finalize my SD name list and post it is anyone looking for MC names as well...found a few of them to

[General_Crespin]

You have not heard of the Badi Dea!?

 

INFIDEL! HERETIC! GENERAL ALL-AROUND LOSER!

 

Go play TIE Fighter!

Heretic? Umm, aren't they people that are spreading religious 'blasphamy'? Also, TIE fighter is freaking impossible to beat- it makes you actually play as a vulnerable person when you get past a certain point!

[Defender_16]

Sorry none of the stores arround here sell TIE Fighter.

 

 

[ list of names ]

 

 

Wow, good work. I'll have to check though that list more carefully later to pick out the ones that arn't in the main list so far.

 

Thanks.

[DarthTofu]

Nobody sells TIE fighter! PM me your address- EB games at my mall has it for about 25 cents.

[bobandrubert]

you forgot super pinkish flower princesses of peace...........

[Krytos]

Here's the old ship list thread - 5 pages worth of maily ship names and a few links to some sites that had complete or near complete listings of ship names from Star Wars . . . page 3 I think I posted a few of those links
