Thunder, I really, really wish the name is not final.
If it isn't, I'd like to ask the team to think of a better name.
"A shorter, planetary version of the Longsword-class Interceptors, hence the new classification: Shortsword." Umm - okay.
There are so many great names that can be picked. Much the same way Spirit of Fire sounds as powerful and memorable as Pillar of Autumn, I think this class of craft can have a more original name that is not derivative of the Longsword ship-based fighters.
Nonetheless, that's an awesome piece of art.
