Goliath

The name comes from the USS Goliath that is transporting a large military force to be forward based on Oragae-6 along with the second wave of colonists. However the new world they arrive at is far from what they were expecting...

Quote from: tleilaxu on May 29, 2018, 10:07:52 PMHow exactly are they damaging besides just being dumb? I'm talking about this specific instance that seems to draw inspiration from a wide range of cultures.

And in doing so claims that all of those cultures originated from pale-skinned space giants. It's white supremacy fantasy writ large, and it isn't satire.

Although the hypothesis of the ancient astronauts it's just pseudoscience nonsense in real life (but interesting  in fiction in my opinion), the idea was more racist in its origins during the 19th century. Although there are nowadays exceptions. But in the case of these prequels, I think it's only due to the artistic vision of the people who had worked in such films. But I do agree that it can be interpreted as white supremacy fantasy.

Can't see Argonautica due to Subnautica.

You mean the game? Not sure a lot of people know it. I didn't.

Argo has something to it. But there's a somewhat recent movie with the same title. And a game or cartoon or something.
But it's the name of a mythical ship on a quest to retrieve something.
Or maybe Argonautica after the poem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argonautica

While checking out this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_ships
I noticed there was a ship called the Covenant in this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidnapped_(novel) but it's probably unrelated

Btw, I know chances of being right are slim to none but I think it's fun way of killing time. And learning something as well.

I prefer Hades, the name of the god of the underworld and the underworld itself.
It would suit an arrogant, more military kind of expedition. As I expect the new ship won't be just another colony ship like the Covenant. If we take Advent into consideration.

Reading on the Prometheus wiki page.
"Prometheus is freed at last by the hero Heracles (Hercules)."
Heracles might be something. But it doesn't sound right to me.

Maybe Perseus.

Damn, I'm way too curious of what the title might be.



I can guarantee it will be something with more syllables than "Alien" -they'd never go with something as overt and recognisable as Hades.
