Ship Names
Schwalbe:
My ships are named after Obscure Sphinx songs/albums, with clan prefix (FFS for FIRE), excluding Goldfish:
Pyramidion: FFS Lunar Caustic
Spire: FFS Velorio
Mobula: FFS Void Mother
Goldfish: The Demise Of Zephyr (the only one not related with OS, but with Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick Obscura; also, it makes me laugh my ass off when one of enemy ships is named Zephyr)
Junker: FFS Nastiez
Squid: FFS Bleed In Me
Galleon: FFS Eternity
Silent Marauder:
Well, I don't even play much as a pilot. But sure, whatever:
Pyramidion: Furry
Try to Google it in graphics. I dare you.
Spire: Foxy
I like foxes. Not some zoo- stuff though, I'm not into that kind of things.
Mobula: Kitsune
Like I said before, I like foxes. And what's better than fox spirit taking form of cute girl, seducing you and stealing your life essence? Totally worth it if you ask me.
Goldfish: Neko
You know... cats. Catgirls. Stuff and thangs. Don't judge me, I'm weird ok?
Junker: Daniel
Named after Amnesia: The Dark Descent main character, I swear.
Squid: Brzęczyszczykiewicz
Don't even try to spell it. You won't be able to. And that's why I named it so. It's a reference to a movie How I unleashed World War II, specifically scene where main character Franciszek Dolas tries to fool SS officer with fake identity. Just copy+paste it in YouTube.
Galleon: Onii-chan
It's big. Protective. Just like girl's older brother. Considering that girls in anime often call brothers onii-chan and IT HAS FOUR CANONS READY TO UNLEASH HELL AND DESTROY THE VERY ESSENCE OF YOUR PATHETIC LIFE, I thought it'd be the best name for it.

- Rzee.. Bsche... chysh...
- Brzęczyszczykiewicz.
- MAUL HALTEN!
The mentioned scene - genius
As far as I know, it's not just a regular twister, it's full of sounds non-existing in german - therefore it's a kind of a mindfuck.
On the other hand, I don't suppose many bloody poles to be able to say it correctly... Gottverdammt...

Alright, big secret time-
All of my ship names, along with my clan name, are references to a semi-obscure table-top RPG by White Wolf called Exalted, which I and most of my clan play. Now that that's out:
Goldfish: Florivet-A demon pirate who sails a boat made out of his bones that travels land as easily as water, enjoys booze and women, and used to be a protector of forbidden knowledge until one day he decided "Fuck it, I'm going to go become a ship." And so he did. Canon recurring NPC in a campaign I run, and the party's main source of transport.
Squid: Beauteous Wasp- Flying, inhumanly beautiful demonic wasps, servants of Florivet, who are actually pretty chill, and just want to find worthy riders. (Not like that. Pervert.) The Squid's a mini-goldfish, so it's named after Florivet's souls/servants/progeny.
Junker: Vanileth- The God of Artificial Flight in the Celestial Bureaucracy. Fitting, for the ship that looks most "classic zeppelin."
Pyramideon: Five-Metal Shrike-Rogue Airship/AI/God-Trapped in an titan-slaying airship. Pyramideons are fast, powerful, and pack a good forward punch. Also, they look like a shrike. Pointy.
Galleon: Brass Leviathan- Named after *another* rogue AI/God, this one aquatic (the people who created these had a bit of a problem), the Brass Leviathan is a massive submarine that haunts the Western Oceans in Exalted, occasionally killing random ship. The Galleon is the only playable ship that I would call a "Leviathan" and the name is cool as hell for a steampunk airship.
Mobula: Kimbery- Named for one of the Lords of Hell/Titans, who takes the shape of an infinitely large ocean which is both poisonous, and acidic. I don't know how it works either. The Mobula is a mean, huge, whale-like ship, so it gets the name of a corrosive sea. According to Rob and Dan, it sounds like a town in England.
Spire: Sword of Creation- In Exalted, the Sword of Creation is a series of magical towers that form a defense network, if controlled, that can raze cities with lasers from on high. It is not an actual sword. The Spire, however, sorta looks like a sword, if you squint hard enough after enough moonshine. It also is capable of razing enemies from on high.
