Okay... then I guess we can say provisionally that the class names are.

Amarr - Imud Hubrau-class
Caldari - Omnya-class?
Gallente - Solteur-class
Minmatar - (A Sea Monster... considering the nordic and icelandic bend of the Minmatar I nominate the name Saeskrimsli-class)

Actually Minmatar may not have any Iapetan Titan at all. Don't forget that the titan tech was shared with them by the Gallente somewhere during the 2nd-gen titan armsrace and they wouldn't likely have the resources to build one anyway at the time those were being built by other empires (the Republic is, after all, the newest sovereign state in New Eden cluster).

That's quite possible... which makes it a bit amusing to me. The only confirmed Empire Titan losses we've seen have all been Minmatar. Man, they really need to win some victories sometime soon or something.

I nominate Jormungand for the Minmatar super titan.

In Terms of the Matari titan, i have only one thing to say.

Below the thunders of the upper deep;
Far far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken sleepeth.

This is the old Minmatar titan. Admittedly I don't believe there is any "exact" written PF for its existence; however, it did share the beta-era skies with titans we know exist, such as the Imud-Hubrau and Solteur

I wonder... that ship looks almost like a flying minmatar city... could the Minmatar have converted a sort of migrant worldship for the role of Titan? They are resource poor compared to the other empires...

Though, that sounds more like something the Thukker Tribe would do.

The Minmatar were always a tribal and migrant race so a "mobile space city" would make sense. If any race were more likely to build it closer to the idea of a mothership than a battlestation i would have thought fictionally it would be them.

Edit to avoid doublepost:

In which case it wouldn't be out of the question to think it's the base command ship for the Elder fleet and hidden somewhere out there.
