** Canada. Close ties with the Americans and a major country that could have supplied a lot of the materials that went into building the ships. It could have been named the ''Polaris'', the ''Acadia'' or something similar. Bonus points for their ship ending up on {{Single Biome Planet}}s consisting of [[CanadaEh cold, forested tundra]]. But then again, Liberty has a Battleship Yukon, therefore, it is possible that their small population forced the Canadians to join Liberty.

** Also, a careful reading indicates that the Corsair invasion of Rheinland is simply an escalation of their war with the Red Hessians. They are aiming to become the dominant pirate faction in Rheinland, not to take territory from the Rheinland Republic. Given that other reports about the battles in Omega-5 indicate that the Corsairs are outnumbered by the Red Hessians, it seems highly implausible that the Corsairs have even a fraction of Rheinland's military power.

power. They don't appear to have any ships larger than fighters, while Rheinland has gunboats, cruisers, and a capital ship (plus the industrial capacity to build more). This is simply a war between criminal factions.

** Possibly relating to its long history: the ''Roma'', ''Roma''. They could also follow the Rheinlander approach and use the name of one of their important regions, such as the ''Latium'', or a geographic feature like the ''Tiber''. Finally, they might go for the name of the father of modern Italy, the ''Garibaldi''.

May HAVE, not may OF.


In Starlancer the player (if they managed to get best results) manages to become the Alliance best fighter ace, who squadron manages to save the Alliance from destruction and even turn the fortune of the war against the Collation, liberating the outer planets collanies of the Solar System and may of been on their way to liberating the inner solar system. Yet the Prolouge of Freelance seems to ignore this and shows the Alliance barely holding out in Pluto buying enough time to build generational ships that would be sent to another star system. In my view I think Freelance Prolouge is where the player got killed fairly early in Starlancer as a result the war never turned in the Alliance's favour.

Critical Research Failure is a disambiguation page


* Although many have a misconception that UsefulNotes/{{Turkey}} = {{Middle Eastern Coalition}} = {{Qurac}} = [[TheFundamentalist Fundamentalist Islam]] = [[CriticalResearchFailure Arab people]], Turkey is the 2nd largest military in NATO, is an ally of many Western nations and is trying really hard to join the EU. Therefore, if Turkey joined the Alliance instead of the Coalition, and survived as a nation to long enough, it could have built one of the 3 mystery sleeper ships. Possible names include the ''Boğaziçi'' (aside from being the Turkish name for the Bosporus, it also means "the straits"), ''Anatolya'', ''Marmara'', ''Kapadokya'', ''Çanakkale'', ''Asya'' (do remember that despite meaning "Asia", the Ancient Greeks invented the term "Asia" to refer to Anatolia, which is where modern Turkey is now), ''Ottoman'' or ''Bizans''; alternatively, they can stress their European-ness by naming their ship ''Thrakya'' (after Thrace, a region that is now part of European Turkey, Greece and Bulgaria). They could also name their ship after certain values such as ''Başı'' (means "leader"), ''Cumhuriyet'' (means "Republic"), ''Yurtta'' or ''Sulh'' ("Yurtta" means "home" and "Sulh" means "peace"; it is from a quote by [[OurFounder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk]] ''"Yurtta sulh, cihanda sulh"'' which translated to English means '' "Peace at Home, Peace in the World" '', which is a pretty powerful message).

Kill Em All was renamed Everybody Dies Ending due to misuse. Dewicking


* Finally, there are the Scandinavian countries. Assuming they didn't get the {{Kill em All}} treatment, stayed with the Alliance, and didn't join up with Rheinland, their are 3 glaringly obvious names for their sleeper ship the ''Scandia'', the ''Víkingr'' or the ''Norden''. Or they can use themes of discovery from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_the_Red Erik the Red]] or [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leif_Erikson Leif Erikson]] such as ''Vinland'', ''Grønland'' (some {{black comedy}} here because when Erik the Red discovered a mostly uninhabitable landmass, he named it UsefulNotes/{{Greenland}} to trick people into settling there, therefore this situation can be JustForFun/{{RECYCLED IN SPACE}}) ''Leifsbúðir'', or ''Skrælingjar'' (refers to Native Americans in Greenland and the Leifsbúðir area which is now modern day Newfoundland, Canada; this is in the same manner that Native American tribes lend their names to various items and places in the US and Canada).
