jhameiaSo, I was thinking of the song Beyond Antares which is what Uhura sings in one of the TOS episodes and I wiki'd "Antares".
Apparently Antares means "against Ares".
I thought, "Airship Antares sounds like a great name for a band."
And then I thought, "a band of pirates!"
And I thought of an airship band of anti-war bandits? mercenaries? just flying around stopping wars, helping the peasantry empower themselves so they'll never be taken advantage and have to fight for some aristocrat.
Anyways, I can't really think of anything more concrete than that. If I ever started to steampunk crew, I'd probably call us that.
Meantime, here's Nichelle Nichols singing Beyond Antares. Her voice is absolutely divine:
