We do.
read lore and station names.
Vogelsberg = Vogtland
Wiesbaden(capital) = Planet Wiesbaden area of residence for the HC of the Hessians including Generalmajor
Odenwald river = [RHA]RHC-Odenwald
Nort/east Kassel = Battleship Kassel
Taunus = Taunusfeild
If we were to get a new Battleship placed in 4.9 it would be Knulll.
As for the Nordic stuff, our ships revolve around nordic tounge. Norse names have bee employed for the Hessians since their new shipline. That, plus I don't think everyone living in the Omegas would be inherently Rheinlandic or Bretonian or Cretan. With all that said, I think there should be some kind of unique naming scheme for Hessians in the Omegas and the Omega territories.
Baden-Wurttemberg sounds dank tho ngl, might request that to be the new BS name.
