[Space] Adapting "Honorverse" Concepts to GURPS

[Gedrin]

Honor is a naval history buff. Admittedly, the references to 20th century and earlier wet-navy stuff rather than the space navies of the next several centuries are a bit silly, but making historical references to history your readers don't know is questionable writing even if it's good worldbuilding.

There are several references to the history of space navies. Saganami is the great naval hero, prior to Harrington, of the RMN. Several other ships and classes are named after people other than royalty. I'd guess the honored people are naval paragons or something similar. Haven and Anderman do the same. I imagine SLN does as well, but they go for about a few hundred years without a serious competitor, which might make heroes harder to find.
