Description:

*** Caution: Absolutely NO Gravitas Contained Herein ***

A names list based on the fantastic Culture series by the late Iain M. Banks, containing most (hopefully all,) of the names contained in the books and further expanded by the internet, the people at r/TheCulture, and myself.

Best played with no ship prefixes (e.g. ISS, etc,) as each ship comes with their own designation as well as their own chosen name. Some ship prefixes may be found in unlikely classes, reflecting the happy way Culture ships modify their capabilities from the get-go.

Common Ship Prefixes:

SL – SuperLifter
FP – Fast Picket
VFP – Very Fast Picket
LOU – Limited Offensive Unit
ROU – Rapid Offensive Unit
GOU – General Offensive Unit
LCU – Limited Contact Unit
GCU – General Contact Unit
GCV – General Contact Vehicle
LSU – Limited Systems Unit
LSV – Limited Systems Vehicle
MSV – Medium Systems Vehicle
GSV – General Systems Vehicle
GSU – General Systems Unit
CSU – Colossal Systems Unit

Unusual Designations:

(m) – Militarized
(e) – Eccentric
MBU – Main Battle Unit (Homomdan)
ZE – Zetetic Elench
