The LEXICON is now up to the letter "K" which translates to 230 entries (and we're not even half way). This also catches us up to the "one letter per day" from July 30th. And for anyone interested in the upcoming "YOU COULD COMMAND OUR SUPERCARRIER ENTERPRISE CONTEST" we've already decided the answer will come from the entries so far loaded!

We've loaded the letter "L" which includes everything on the Lagrange Spacestations. And speaking of which, check out: LAGRANGE SPACE which shows miniatures of all the Lagrange Spacestations and precedes pages showing larger versions of Station 5. Continue hiting the "NEXT" buttons to view a very large cut-away of the LIFEWHEEL decks or scan for the "Cat's Eye" link to Strategic Intelligence's report of a "safe house" on Deck 9 of the first office pod (a critical location for the first season finale).

Just going through the dictionary. Where do you guys come up with some of these names? Are they historically based or in-jokes or what?

Miss Kitka,
I just polled a few of the writers and the answer to all three options is "YES".
Most of the Vessel names are historical (either famous craft or military leaders). One of the few exceptions is the name of the shuttle in SHUTTLEDOWN (OWENTELL), which is a nod to Malcolm's character on Nikita.
Some of the character names are puns (usually in a different language), or in-joke references to characters from other, well love shows (Finnegan, Casey and Coombs all refer to the same children's program from decades ago).
Now Corporations apparently are all consistent with other TITAN-RAINBOW product, be it stories for other shows that weren't picked up, vanity projects, or just wishful long term plans.
For example, the MARWAYNE Corporation, which makes the Multi-Action Rifles that Finnegan's Squad uses, is from a Treatment that one of our writers wrote for a Batman movie that will never see the light of day.
In that story Bruce WAYNE discovers on reaching the age of majority that much of the wealth of the Wayne Foundation was earned selling guns, and he recognizes the model that was used to kill his parents. While becoming the Batman he deals with this realization.
AND NOW YOU KNOW... THE REST OF THE STORY. Good day!

FIRST LEFTENANT,
I grok the fullness of the totality!
The “user-friendly” nature of TITAN-RAINBOW Media Productions™ is a large part of what persuaded me to accept the role of FINN when GARY DAVIDSON offered it to me, so I, too, hope that we can bring FSQ™ into your living room, as I believe that we have a lot to offer that other televised SF does not.

LADYTASS,
Thank you; we appreciate your appreciation.
On what other programmes have you found this to be the case?

Thank you; that is good company in which to find oneself.
Regrettably, I did not get to know the official STARHUNTER™ domain before they closed it down, shortly after shutting down production, but STAR HYKE™ is impressing me mightily.

The Lexicon has been loaded to the Letter "O" (what are you people going to do the day after we reach Z?) That brings our entries to 311 so far! Also we've changed the Strategic Intelligence page for TASK FORCE CIMARRON so that when you click the ranks you see the Uniforms that branch wears. Astute readers will notice an inherant conflict of interest brewing on this page that one of the writers assures me you won't know about until the second season (second season!!?) anyway, enjoy....
