Xenotropos was
the name of a spaceship.
Or rather, it
was a name I came up with for a homebrew role playing game
world. It was a mess: a sort of world-hopping vague comedy
centred around the good ship Xenotropos. The name itself is made
up from bad Greek. I thought it meant “About the Alien”
(followed usually by “I can explain...”). Later on some person
from actual Greece who spoke the language properly informed me
it means, “Of Alien Manufacture”.
Either one
works for me.
When I first
started posting things on the internet I was in between last
names (a long complicated story by itself) so rather than use a
name I'd have to alter later, I slammed this baby in it's place.
Now I'm sort
of stuck with it. And... I'm okay with that.
