Often, when I'm at the bus station, I see the bus that goes to Underhill. Naturally I wondered why they would name a town in England after a character from Frontier Fleet. I'm referring to Karol Underhill, a medical advisor in the Odyssey's Sickbay. Subsequently I started to notice more things that were named after Frontier Fleet characters. (Certainly no characters were named after real life alternatives, were they?) There is streets named after Captain Main, presidents named after Commander Kennedy and Torn stars in a computer game. I have collected several names that refer to characters in our fleet and taken pictures of them. It's just a bit of fun and some names (Denebris or Jomorr) couldn't be found.
A selection of the many things named after Frontier Fleet characters are listed below. |
