I apologise if I used some names that Rahz already used. At first I was searching each name to make sure he hadn't but after I while I couldn't be bothered anymore...

I also apologise if the lists are slightly Australia-centric...

One more thing, I propose that, to make our lives easier, maybe Venture class ships (which are really jsut tiny scout shuttles) shouldn't get their own names. I know runabouts got their own names, but I'd rather save names like Venture, Halifax, Piccadilly, Crusoe and Columbus for the larger ships (I think those last two would make good names for Miranda-II class ships). Maybe they shouldn't just be called 'scout unit X' or something...
I'll have some more names soon...
