Several weeks ago, when there seemed to be a lot of griping
about what a ridiculous name "Star Vikings" was, and before Mr.
Wiseman joined the TML, I suggested that the name "Scouts"
might be a more palatable alternative. Now that we have an
agent of GDW listening in, I'd like to reintroduce the idea.
The Scouts were the great explorers of the Third Imperium, and
they had a reputation both within the game universe and among
players (at least, most of the ones I've known). It seems logi-
cal that the new breed of explorers (and merchants, admittedly)
would want to cash in on the "mystique" of the IISS. Comments,
criticisms, scathing remarks, anyone?
