	: Putting the name of a city (or colony, as is the case here) is a typical naming convention, at least in English. For instance, there are naval bases with the name of their location first, followed by their function: e.g. "Portsmouth Naval Base," "Norfolk Naval Base," and "Pudget Sound Naval Base." Obviously, each language has its own syntactic rules, so feel free to format the name however necessary. (By the way, do you have "move" permissions?

	I ask because this would make a difference for the German translation. Having a “Scorpion Fleet”, named after the animal, this would be “Werft der Skorpionflotte”; with “Scorpion” being an adjective (and '''mis'''matching the current colony name), this would be something like “Scorpionische Flottenwerft”. The current German article name “[[:de:Scorpio Flottenwerft\|Scorpio Flottenwerft]]” is wrong in any case: there is a hyphen missing, and even with the hyphen it wouldn't be much better. --[[User:Bruno-the-questionable\|Tobias]] 08:46, 3 June 2009 (UTC)		I ask because this would make a difference for the German translation.

			== Scorpion Fleet ==

			Hi there,

			I wonder whether something like a “Scorpion Fleet” exists; it could consist of several (or a lot of) battlestar groups. Its name would refer to the animal (which is well-fortified, having a poisenous sting), and of course to the colony. It is perfectly possible to have different names for animal and constellation; see “toro” (the animal) and “T''au''ro” (the constellation) in Spanish. This would solve the problem of the mismatching “adjective” ''Scorpion'' (why would anyone name a ''shipyard'' after an ''ancient'' name of the planet or colony?)

			I ask because this would make a difference for the German translation. Having a “Scorpion Fleet”, named after the animal, this would be “Werft der Skorpionflotte”; with “Scorpion” being an adjective (and '''mis'''matching the current colony name), this would be something like “Scorpionische Flottenwerft”. The current German article name “[[:de:Scorpio Flottenwerft\|Scorpio Flottenwerft]]” is wrong in any case: there is a hyphen missing, and even with the hyphen it wouldn't be much better. --[[User:Bruno-the-questionable\|Tobias]] 08:46, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
