So, im making a sci-fi story game and need a name for the game and one of the race's. The plot is that you are a grunt in the United Nation's of Earth (UNE) and are trying to help them win a huge war against The race i need a name for. The race is a race of robot's similar to the remnants from Achilles but much more diverse and militaristic. I would like suggestions for either one of the name's.  If anyone would like me to i could post a bio for the different kind's of robot's. 

Go for something psuedo-philosophical, logic, computer, or numbers related, and, if possible, Latin-ey.

The XOR.

The Omega.

The Plexus.

For name of game or robot race?

The Robots.

I like The Omega.

Hey look, my game's being used as a reference! Yay! Funnily enough I didn't actually come up with the name for the Remnants, but I like Sentinels "The Omega" if you're going for cold, unemotional robots. If you want them to basically be humans in that they each have personalities and consciousnesses, you might want to add a faction-y sounding thing onto that, like the Omega Syndicate or the Omega Union.

As for the game itself, it really depends what kind of theme you're going for. Heroic adventure game, gritty "war is hell" type thing or whatever, because some work for some themes and some don't. I'll throw out "Blood and Rust" because it's the first thing that came into my head.

You just gave me an idea! im not sure if it will work, though. I was thinking It could be heroic or war is hell themed depending on you're choice's are. Another idea i now have is the UNE think that the robot's don't feel emotion's or think fo themselves' but they actually do. So since the UNE think that they use bloodthirsty nuclear tactics, wiping out huge civilian population.

I have decided to add an insectoid species in my game, also needing a name. At full height they stand about 7" tall and have enslaved a lesser species called the Reavers which are an unintelligent species about as smart as a dog. The Reavers stand at about 6"  and can eat an entire man in a minute due to their sharp teeth and acid- like saliva. The species will play a neutral part and can be persuaded to join your side depending on how strong the UNEs forces are, playing a direct part in your choices in combat. Also, I have decided on the name of the robot species. They will be the Omega Union.

How does one enslave a creature that's not sentient? It seems like they'd be taming the Reavers.

Yeah. I should probably change that. I think I meant to but forgot to edit.

Bug mouthparts would presumably click and buzz a lot. You have to use a lot of Ks, Ts, Qs, Xs, Zs, and long E sounds.

Beezer, Teek, Quellak, Zax, Kexat, Kett, all sound like spacebug names. That's just how it is.

For names of characters of that species or the species? I recently decided the name of the species to be the Prometheus although i am still open for suggestions. Still need name of game, though.

I have also been thinking about a coauthor. Im not sure if i want one, though. Also, the sneak peek link is on my page if you want to view the story.

Ooh, there's going to be a codex ^-^
