Covenant Ship Names

What's with the Covenant ship names? Do they just take a random Adverb and a random Noun and shove them together? Most of the ship names make no sense at all. Take this ship name for example: Unyielding Hierophant. What the heck is that?

  • unyielding is not a noun, its an adjective. /fail now, covenant ships usually use words that are synonymous with biblical and religion.
