Given the current state of ceaseless warfare, the name of this "Unity" fortress had naturally become a hellish joke.
But to be fair, the Tirillo had always been rather thick-skinned about things like this. They didn't mind expressing their magnanimity in this way; even on worlds they had conquered, they would keep the old names.
Still, keeping a name like this in the current context was simply too suggestive.
