So we only get one chance can we take it
And we only get one life can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have don't replace it
The age of innocence is fading..... Like an old dream

I vote for Aenea, mostly because of how it sounds...  Read  (canadian) Eh - nay- ah
It's exotic and aerated and melodious. Maybe not the best thing, but...

I also like the name for the scion ship. I'm beginning to see a new trend for ship naming these days. Pillars of Autumn, Valley Forge, Andromeda Ascendant, Pax Magellanis, Pride of Argos....
One word names are so yesteryear. :) Although Pax sounds nice too.

And some other names I like:

Gaea  - (the Earth.... read Guy-Ah ) Also found as Gheea, Gaia or some other variation. It's an interesting name considering the scions are, at their core, earthlings searching for a new home. And since they couldn't find or lost one, they decided to build one and take it with them. "After Chaos, arose broad-breasted Gaia the everlasting foundation of the gods of Olympus. She brought forth Uranus, the starry sky, her equal, to cover her"

Hyperion - is one of the twelve Titan gods of Ancient Greece, and was referred to in early mythological writings as Helios Hyperion, 'Sun High-one'. Hyperion is the titan of light and the greatest warrior under Cronus' command.
"Of Hyperion we are told that he was the first to understand, by diligent attention and observation, the movement of both the sun and the moon and the other stars, and the seasons as well, in that they are caused by these bodies, and to make these facts known to others; and that for this reason he was called the father of these bodies, since he had begotten, so to speak, the speculation about them and their nature." —Diodorus Siculus (5.67.1)
(source - Wikipedia.org, of course)

Lux Aeterna (Eternal Light) ... which, seeing as the ship gets destroyed is kind of interesting.

Pillars of Creation

I'm gonna leave it open a bit longer, I'd quite like more than 8 votes.

Mr X

I'm a bit hesitant to close it with so few votes and only one seperating the two leaders.
