I know most of the other servers have been named after Sci-Fi characters, but the Shuttle program is drawing to a close, and those seem like good names to use. Future servers could also be named after other famous real life space vehicles. If you don't like those and want to stay on the Sci-Fi theme, then Enterprise would also be a good name. ID: 1045218 ·

I always thought Vader was an only name (like Sting or Madonna), as I have always considered "Darth" to be a title or honorific of some sort, as evidenced by his predecessor being Darth Maul. (odd that my spell check doesn't know "Darth" but knows "Vader"... weird) ID: 1045259 ·
