I really dislike when ships or planets in Trek get named after real world people like, say, Terry Matalas (cough cough) or some producer’s niece. This one seems to be one of those, since there is apparently no historical precedent for it in-universe or out.

I’m guessing that it’s some producer’s niece who drew a spaceship with crayons, and the design is based on that. Not a fan.

I mean, there could be something to say about that, like the name of the ship IU being named after an alien race’s/human important figure (like a Tellarite Kelcie Mae scientist) or a captain of an influential starship. But yeah I agree OOU naming a ship after a person is annoying.

Edit: IU is in universe, OOU is Out of Universe.

Edit: I just learned it was named in memory after a huge Star Trek fan who was working on SNW named Kelcie May Sundquist. Rest in Peace.
