Ashes of Jove? The Merlin Monroe? The Rokhsteady? Drake It 'Til You Make It? Logi McLogiFace?
Be it epic or delightfully punny, tell us the best ship name you've ever come up with and include an image of the ship itself. If it's not immediately obvious why it's a good name, then share the name's origin story too.
Please add the following tags: #EVEOnline (and/or #TweetFleet) and #JustCreators (and/or tag @EVEOnline and Just on your chosen platform - details below)!
As a team we have had what we call "SG1" nights and the cool thing is the names can cross over into Eve Online so we decided this is the best named one we have, for obvious reasons :)
Not every warrior can find his destiny on the battlefield, some need to take care of supply lines... We wanted to mine a bit, but I did not want to train into a Porpoise, so I had to come up with something...
The rabbit hole doesn't end there. Nine years ago I created a talk show called "The Gate to Gate Show" hosted by Rixx. In the show there was a segment featuring Svipul reporting on the new citadels and for some reason I gave him a very fake Italian accent.
Here is the clip of Svipul from that much longer show:
I present to you my grandest ship – the Nyx-class Supercarrier, UNS James Solomon.

Nyx-class Supercarrier, designed with UNS James Solomon for the first time. Redaction for security purposes.
A lifelong EVE Online goal of mine was to acquire a Nyx, and TEST Alliance enabled me to reach that goal.
It was a dream of mine to name a vessel on behalf of the Chief Commander of the Global Defense Initiative from Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun – James Solomon (played by the late, great, immortal James Earl Jones).
The hull cost me $14,000,000,000 back in 2020! But, the opportunities in null-sec in our region enabled me to make it all back and then some.

UNS James Solomon flew on home defense and was a great source of revenue. It even flew in two Incursions and dodged an attempt on its life by a coalition of Purple Helmeted Warriors and other pilots (thank the stars for Gallente Carrier 5 – 25 points of warp stability)!
I left TEST just as World War Bee II was starting, and the hull was sold to another TEST pilot. I’m not sure if it survived the great supercarrier ambush though…
Nevertheless, given that James Earl Jones has departed us, it seems more poignant to carry this ship’s flag. It’s all a matter of finding another vessel worthy of its name…
