# Spaceship Name Generator

A ship in my science fiction story or tabletop campaign needs a name, and I want it to sound like something a real crew would call home.

It's a [SHIP_TYPE:select:military warship,cargo or trade vessel,exploration or science ship,small personal fighter or shuttle,generation ship or colony vessel,space station].

The tone I'm going for is [TONE:select:militaristic and serious,scrappy and lived-in,elegant and futuristic,ominous or menacing].

Generate [COUNT:number:5-20] spaceship names that match this ship type and tone. For each one, add a short one-line note on what the name says about the vessel: its history, its crew, or its reputation. Mix formats across the list, some full formal registry names, some short nicknames a crew would use without thinking about it, so the batch doesn't read like the same template filled in over and over. Keep a military warship under a serious tone sharper and more official than a cargo hauler under a scrappy tone, unless I ask for something else. After the list, pick your top 3 and explain what makes them stand out.
