' Wrote:liberty decided to use egyptian dieties as the codenames for their shipbuilding projects in alaska - the osiris reconnaissance battleship and the anubis advanced strike fighter. These were stolen by Orillion when he broke off from liberty in an attempt to save it from the impending nomad threat, and ever since then the order's shiplines have used those names.
Funny thing is, despite all the egyptian themes for ships, stations, etc... the home planet is toledo, named after a city in spain...
I think the freelancer devs failed their geography/history classes =P
I'm not sure about the origin of the Osiris's name, but the name of the Anubis certainly wasn't given to it by Liberty.The Anubis was actually an Order innovation. It's a mash of different technology that the Order has stolen from around Sirius, not just from Liberty. I think they just decided to keep the same naming scheme.
