OSS prefix for starship names?

Does that sound good? I was looking on Inara and our wing's ships. Many have used a prefix for the ship name. I was thinking about having an 'official' prefix that could be used (if wanted of course!) with The Order of Mobius ships.

I did think 'The Order StarShip' initially but it would have been 4 characters (most real prefix's are 3 from what I have seen). Not to mention it spells TOSS... So I thought drop the 'T' and just have OSS for Order StarShip or Order SpaceShip.

Just an idea I have been mulling around, thought I would mention it and get some views on the idea :D

What's wrong with Mobius Employed Space Ship? I think the acronym sums up many of our members.

It may sum up you but not the majority of Mobius members :twisted:

I used mixed prefixes from these prefix codes:


BC - Battlecruiser
BS - Battleship
CS - Cargo ship / Cruiseship
HMS - Her Majesty's (Space)Ship
HWSS - Heavy Weight Spaceship
ISS - Imperial Spaceship
LWSS - Light Weight Spaceship
SC - Spacecruiser
SS - Spaceship
SSE - Spaceship Earth (So you could insert your own planet names)
STS - Space Transportation System
USS - United (States) Spaceship (So you could insert your own country/nation name)

E.G. My Anaconda has the prefix LWBS which is a mix of LWSS and BS creating the meaning of LightWeight BattleShip

I've shrunk my fleet for now so currently have the Bacon Cats Transport Ship - BCTS Cascadia (Python) and the Long Range Exploration and Rescue Vessel - LRERV Havhingsten (Asp)

OSS or OMS both work pretty well.
