Competition: "Who ya working for?"

Finished
"Who ya working for?"

House Excidium is long overdue for a Battleteam of its very own, and will finally be getting one. However, you can't have a Battleteam without a good name, right? Therefore, House Excidium, you now have a chance to make some history. Come up with a name for the new Battleteam! The Battleteam will serve as a subtle, assassin unit working with the House and even the Clan if needs be, so might want to use something that would fit the assassin, stealthy, mysterious theme. You may enter up to three suggestions.

Good luck!

"Terminal Trade," or "Terminal Traders."

Terminal as in the last phase of dying.

The way I imagine the Battleteam within Excidium, it's composed of the less nuke-y characters, who pass along targets and information among themselves for favors, to be taken out quietly. To the pleasure of the Emperor, and to not see the Cocytus System fall prey to unchained individuals like Arch and Jorm.

A favorite theme of mine when it comes to spies and assassins is the fact that they can be considered lost souls or the living dead. The spark of my ideas came from one of favorite fictions, Codex Alera, where they have a hunter class of Canim who played the same role that this unit would in CSP. They were considered already “dead”, so that they didn’t have to honor the code of life. They could do whatever needed to be done. This class also played on the hidden threat in plain sight and how that makes you feel uneasy. In my entries play close attention to the meanings of each word and they reflect these sentiments either by themselves or the name as a whole.

My submission for a name would be Channel 5 news. This would allow our forces to infiltrate under the guise of a holonet news network and do the missions assigned... Stay Classy Caina!
