The Description Game

Piemanlives:
I guess it's time to bring it back. Welcome to the description, for those of you unfamiliar with the description game it goes like this.
We a start off with a phrase say "Belcher" the next person to post has to define "belcher." For instance "Belcher is the nickname for a light class of engine, while cheap creates a loud belching sound as it operates, irritating both the vessels crew and nearby wildlife." that person then has to post a term or phrase for the next person to define.

I'll start us off

Yard Dog

James T. Kirk:
Back in the old days, when ships with more than 4 people still roamed the skies, there were more classes than 'Pilot' 'Engineer' and 'Gunner'

The 'Yard Dog' was the crewman who was in charge of all things that you could look through.

He was not only a master spotter, being able to see ships seemingly miles away, but he was also proficient in the range-finder.

Because the most famous 'Yard Dog' used a strange system of 'inches' and 'yards,' and refused to call out targets in the standard meters, he was referred to as a 'Yard Dog.'

The name stuck, and soon applied to all spotters.


Strum-dinger.

macmacnick:
A "Strum-Dinger" is a Derogatory slur commonly used to describe unskilled musicians working in the cheapest of bars in Cathedral;
they were given this name as to the fact that they commonly strummed their instruments and dinging their glasses of cheap alcohol together in hopes of attracting attention.

Pun-Cannon

Piemanlives:
The Pasha-Type Utility Nexus Artillery piece, or simply Pun-Cannon as referred to by artillery units is a self-propelled unit able to serve a variety of purposes. For instance the Pasha is fitted with an auxiliary pulley system allowing it to act as a crane when a more dedicated piece of equipment is unavailable. Multiple PUN's are able to link together allowing crews to pass ammunition, to make room for crews to sleep in, or to build an improvised battle wall.

Hermes

macmacnick:
The Hermes, a type of engine, was designed to achieve the highest thrust to weight ratio possible in the space required for a light engine, thus, It was named after Hermes, the greek good of messengers and swift travel; Harnessed in many raider ships, the Hermes engine is central to success, as it allows for many quick getaways.
(sounds like this thread would be useful for muse to reap ideas for game elements from.)
