I believe the answer to this question can be found in phrases like 'Gangrene Chaser'. Though I've yet to come up with a good reason why anyone would want to catch gangrene, no matter their species.Tamina wrote:Why do Teladis call their ships like (probably since thousands of years extinct) birds from Earth; a long lost and forgotten, then found again, now lost again, planet from another race?
A better question would be why we were given translations of the proper names for Split ships, but left with Argon designations for Teladi ones. I call fowl.
Sorry about that last bit.
