Talk:Viscount-class Star Defender

Designation
I'm actually rather surprised that the designation "Star Defender" hasn't brought up controversy, especially in regard to the "Star Destroyer" issue. Basically, one can tell that when Salvatore named this class of warship, he was trying to make a happy version of the Imperial Star Destroyer (not that specific class): a large, intimidating warship, but without the bad contations "Star Destroyer" carries. If anything, I think the strange designation of this warship opens up the table to discussion as to whether "Star Destroyer" truly refers to warships analogous to our real-life sea-farring destroyers, but rather is simply a term used to identify a type of warship. In other words, it's possible that the fact Star Defender is used to describe a warship about the size of a battlecruiser or battleship, Star Destroyer might be used as a name of intimidation for warships from the size of Victorys to Executors... In other words, using Star Defender as an example, Star Destroyer may merely be a propoganda name than a true designation.--SOCL 03:01, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
