What's behind the name? 'Ra' I've had a lot of vehicles but I've never given one a name. 'Ra' seems fitting.
Wiki has this:
Ra was the ancient Egyptian solar deity. By the Fifth Dynasty (2494 to 2345 BC) he had become a major god in ancient Egyptian religion, identified primarily with the midday sun. The meaning of the name is uncertain, but it is thought that if not a word for 'sun' it may be a variant of or linked to words meaning 'creative power' and 'creator'.

'Ra' the creator / midday sun. I felt both were fitting, being IOM and the fact that I'll be crafting a number of customized items for this.
