All names associated with rebirth, eternal life or new life/beginnings. A good place to start for a completely rebirthed Fleet.

Owing to the fact that Plagueis has a decided to be the only pure Dark unit in the Brotherhood, and that our style of warfare is asynchronous guerrilla, in that we appear, we take, we vanish; I suggest that we name our ships after the things people fear in the night.

Wraith, Specter, Revenant, Ghoul, Phantasm.

Let the names of our ships be as we are, the things from the night that strike fear, the ones that you're never really sure are there until they've come and gone with destruction in their wake.

My theme is to name ships after alliterative forms of precipitation. This fits with Plagueis because evil doing is thirsty work.

1. Dread Drizzle
2. Murder Mist
3. Grievous Grauple
4. Snow Shank
5. Horror Hail

My theme for the five ships has strictly to do with the darker undertones of Plagueis and its structure. It's obviously no secret that Plagueis is a unit that basks in the dark side itself, to the point in which even its subordinates are indoctrinated and molded in a way that there is no option of rebellion. I also wanted to provide names based on Plagueis' history, and how sometimes we can't necessarily let go of it.

Some of these names may be kind of lame, but hey, I did my best here.

1. Subjugator

2. Dread

3. Kapsina

4. Supremacy

5. Wrath

The theme for these names is based off of ancient/primitive weapons. These are all polearms, which have reach, giving the user a deadly advantage. Plagueis has always been more militarily central than other clans, and having our new fleet named after powerful weapons is a perfect fit.
