I would like to think that Gallente ship names are actually based off their old gods, if they had any...Garoun had a concept of it...

Armor of Rouvenor states the "mythical hero-king" and a "temporal paradise". IC, Seriphyn says "Gods" instead of "God"...so who knows...

Uhm, yeah.  I believe the Gallente did have at least one god -- "Lady Fortune", which is mentioned in some Federation agent texts. 

And, hey, we've got nothing out there that says what deities the Mannar worship.  Who knows?  Maybe they're techno-animists.  They could worship ships!

p.s. Would you believe I typed "deities" as "Deteis" about ten times before I got my brain around the correct spelling?

I'll just stay away from that one.   :D


I would love to see some PF about anyone with a polytheistic religion. Sort of a different discussion though, I guess.

If you look at the Loki, where they explain the way the word is used now, you can see where there might be big changes over time, and CCP recognizes that to some degree.
