UEEF Ship Prefixes

Unread post by silvermoon383 »

Does anyone know what the Expeditionary Forces's ship prefix is (if any)? I'm talking the little code before the name, such as the US Navy and Starfleet's USS, the British HMS, Klingon IKS, etc. So far the closest I've found is the SDFs, and the Genesis Pits book adds a SDBC in front of the Shimakazes, but that looks more like a hull number than a name prefix to me.

They can't see me...Right!?

SDFm SDBC, etc are short form for the class of ship and it's number. For the actual name of the ship they use UES as Arnie said. So the SDF-3 Pioneer would be the SDF-3 UES Pioneer.
I am very opinionated. Yes I rub people the wrong way but at the end of the day I just enjoy good hard discussion and will gladly walk away agreeing to not agree :D

SDBC----You can figure the 'BC' stands for 'battlecruiser'....SD+'SuperDimensional', signifying it has FTL-Fold capabilities. The Tristar is SDC=SuperDimensional Cruiser, since it has a limited Fold capability.

same here. UEEF, UEDF, or ASC, they are all "United Earth Ships"

I concur with the cool kids...UES for prefix. SDF, SDC, SDBC would be a ship class.
I know it is a little extreme to advocate the death penalty for stupidity...but can't we just remove all the warning labels and let nature take it's course???

Being cool is like fight club..rule #1...never talk about being a cool kid.

to OP:
I agree with the rest. UES (United Earth Ship) though UESM (United Earth Systems Military) does sound cool.
