The name Cutlass is of course up to debate. I chose it because I thought it fit best with the Border World naming scheme, which are generally named after 'sinister' sorts of blades. Daggers, Stilettos, Sabres, Scimitars, Switchblades, Cutlasses, they're all weapons you'd find in the hands of criminals such as Pirates and the likes.
n00bl3t has already made a convincing argument towards naming it the "Rapier"
Shamshirs' appear to be an indian blade from what I gather. They also seem to be far too noble for the name of a Border World ship. I wouldn't name this bomber that.
Also, my info card example isn't that great either. I'd accept suggestions for improving it, also.
