A/N: Hello, it's the author again. I just wanted to mention some things that I couldn't quite fit into the story. Namely about the intergalactic naming standards.
The classifications are broken down into several parts as such;
In the case of a general design, or one that is widely customized, such as the all-purpose drones, it will have an indicator of its purpose. Such as ‘all purpose’ or ‘combat’. These drones may come in various actual technical differences, but it is impossible to tell their version by identification alone.
When it comes to more specific tech, like the Va-Mk4 All-purpose augmentation kit. The first capital letter (V in this case), represents the species that created it (V stands for Vaux). The second and third characters will be a letter and or number. This is a hex value representing the version of the invention. For instance, the ‘a’ represents the code 10, which would relate to separate documentation detailing the version. After the -, will either be the name of the specific object, or a Mkx. The ‘Mkx’ part of the name refers to a generation of technology. As time progresses various massive technological advancements are made, these jumps call for denotations so you can easily tell the era of the tech. In the current year 3078, Mk-4 is the current generation. And lastly there will be some form of descriptor of what it actually is.
As another example, take the Ae4-Borealis luxury cruiser for instance. The ‘A’ represents the race (who haven't been revealed yet), the e4 is referencing the specifications of the ship. The ‘Borealis’ is the specific name of the ship that Kovon possesses. Each individual is given a different name for identification purposes. The ‘luxury’ part represents that it is designed for luxury. Lastly, the cruiser is the size of the vessel. Cruisers for instance, are often used as transport ships within a galaxy/planets, or as mid-tier combat ships. They are usually anywhere from 50m to 150m in length, and have anywhere from one to five engines. The class of the ship also is an indicator for its hyperspace-drive capability. The cruiser class typically have drives that are capable of reaching speeds in the range of 12-24 times lightspeed (great for moving between nearby systems). Whereas a class like the intergalactic freighter are obviously much larger, and can boast top speeds in the tens of millions times the speed of light.
I hope this clarifies some of the naming, and can assist you, dear reader, in understanding the technology a bit better.
