i like how everyone is avoiding saying what the actual word is, that this awareness thread is talking about.

Caldari use a lot of birds, sure. But to be honest they mostly just use animal names, including mythical and extinct ones. The only exceptions to that rule I can think of are the Obelisk, the Ferox (latin word for Ferocious, but also a common prenom for some kinds of fish, so possibly not an exception), the Onyx, the Charon (which is a god) and the Rohk (Which seems to be the only ship that's name doesn't mean anything at all). The Kitsune by the way, is the Japanese word for Fox.

I just googled "awareness" and somehow found this:

http://www.robotvsbadger.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/PteroLlahdBoxed1a.jpg

It's a pterodactyl paraglider with lazors!..

Now that I know that stuff like this exists, I desperately want one, too.

Also birds, obviously.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

No its the westernized version of the arabic/persian word for what we know as Roc - giant mythical bird of prey. Damn those pesky persians and thier multi use words.

The Rokh is just ccp showing off by having the birds naming line and the mythical creature naming line merge into one (same with drake which was released at the same time and is both a duck and a dragon).
