    Bump...

    Isn't it the kind of thread we could add to the sticky list
    (at this rate, we'll have a full page of sticky threads within a couple of months)

    I have two more to add to it due to this past weekend's tragedy...

    USS Columbia "Thunder on!" (From the song "Fly, Columbia" by Julia Ekelar)

    USS Phoenix "My wings are made of tungsten and my flesh is glass and steel. I am the joy of Terra for the power that I wield" (From the song "The Phoenix", again by Julia. It's about a dead astronaut re-incarnated as a spaceship...)

    Two relating to the current war.

    "We fight wars not to have peace, but to have a peace worth having." - Bill Whittle
    This one would be good for a post-Dominion War design that's better armed than previous Feddie designs. Sums up the whole "Why We Fight" discussion rather nicely.

    The next one is the one that has been retroactively been selected for the Starfleet Marines game I play in online, Special Operations Task Force: Furies. Our ship is the USS Nemesis. (Named well before the movie came out, I might add...)

    "The enemy should be in no doubt that we are his Nemesis and that we are bringing about his rightful destruction." Lt. Colonel Tim Collins, Royal Irish Guards

    Given how the Furies operate, and what their mission statement is, it fits.

    A brave little theory, and actually quite coherent for a system of five or seven dimensions -- if only we lived in one.

    Moderator hat on...

    Given the current ban on political discussion, it would be best, in my opinion, to tread carefully in linking the war in Iraq with this thread. It would be just as easy to use quotes from French or German ministers as dedication quotes.

    Unless, of course, Don interprets the ban differently.

    Talking

    Uh...nothing was intended as commentary on the modern era in the quote. Sorry if anyone read more into that
