Have you checked Shepard Quest yet? Revvy Shepard invents an arc reactor, saves the planet with her Mk I armour, and a superhero crossover became a "How I became a trillionare" quest.I got intrigued for a moment when I saw "price this option" mentioned. Alas, there's not yet a "Star Wars Financial Derivatives: The Quest" on SV. *relurks*
You! What have you done?Question. If Thrawn does rip off Tann's ship, would there be a chance for a repainting and renaming job? To something nice like....oh I dunno, Chimaera?![]()
Can we get around to picking out a Star Wars-y name for our generically-named 'Humanitarian Organization' and our 'Security Company'?
Why, they already have the best names!<sees dozen posts suggesting names for new dreadnouht>

As long as everyone's is kicking around names for things, can I suggest...

Beyond while living conquered the universe? Attempt to make a canon thing a thing?<sees dozen posts suggesting names for new dreadnought>

A Haruspex is one trained in the art of haruspicy, the art of reading the future from entrails. Or, to put it another way, making predictions by analyzing the guts of things. Seems appropriate.If we're naming the ship, I would recommend something like Astrologer, Tarot or Fortune-Teller. It keeps with the naming scheme set by the Oracle, and is fitting with Thrawn's MO of reading all these various signs to predict the future.

Oh, that's easy then.Or, because Ciaran is a cheeky bastard, she names it something deliberately designed to tweak Dooku's nose.
Honestly, I just think it's the kind of pun Thrawn would enjoy.Nice, but I prefer either the astrology references because this is STAR Wars, or the card reading due to card games translating well as analogies to the scheming and conspiring going on. Also relates to a hand in a poker game, which relates to the title of this quest and Grievous's capital ship from canon which shares said name.
I do like your line of thinking though. It's not enough to just have a name that fits the naming scheme, it has to go deeper.

Only in Basic. Turns out that it's only one word in Chiss.
It's only one syllable in Sith. Also a mortal insult.*
