What is the Name of this Academy Flagship?

Vanguard of Knowledge wouldn't be too bad either since Chloris is a foremost expert on the Endless.

But I like how casually they dropped the new race would be called Nakalim without any fanfare. :)

"Warden of Knowledge" I think this name looks more confident and noble than others.

Considering that it was phrased as a Mezari based name I had to go with Warden of Knowledge. Based on what we have seen from the Mezari I don't feel that the other two fit somehow. Honestly though, Warden sounds more like a Vaulter name but I find it somewhat fitting.

Warden can mean any of the following things:

1. one having care or charge of something : guardian, keeper
2. a person responsible for the supervision of a particular place or thing or for ensuring that regulations associated with it are obeyed.
3. the governor of a town, district, or fortress
4. the head of certain schools, colleges, or other institutions. (specific to British culture I believe)
5. one of two ranking lay officers of an Episcopal parish

I like the multiple interpretive meanings these lend themselves to honestly.

To add on to that, considering the race has a proclivity for knowledge....
As a personal opinion that Warden of Knowledge would fit better with their personalities instead of some hard to pronounce name with fanfare attached, because in their eyes the ship's name spoken in various Alien languages has its own unique name.

Personally I like Provost, but I have also spent my entire adult life answering to provosts and deans.

Maybe I missed something.  Who are the Nakalim?

New DLC faction, apparently. It's mentioned second vote in the row.

looks like a lightsaber

HYPE

Damn. We are still that far from DLC? :(

Seneschal of the Archives sounds very mighty and grand, which I feel a flagship of the Academy should be. Quaestor of the Tabernacle isn't bad either but as someone else mentioned, the Seneschal feels more "grand religious ship".

Warden of Knowledge feels very meh and simple, it loses that grand feeling I think Isyander's goal and the Academy is about, which is "bigger than life" ambition or even bigger than the galaxy itself. Too bad it seems to be clearly the winning one.

Warden of Knowledge because Mezari are all 'bout dat knowledge.

So the academy is going to have fleets on the map.It always seemed a bit odd having all the lore with then being no actual influence.My hope is a lost end game threat appears as most end games end up pretty dull.

Hoping for this. I mentioned it in a prior post about how annoying it is of how big a deal the Academy is and yet they don't actually DO anything.

Sure, why not? Sounds like a good lore choice.

Seneschal has a much deeper meaning, but Warden of Knowledge is more commercially audible. 

Yael's Hammer

All names are great, but I went with Seneschal. I just love that word.

As for how I'd name a ship of mine, maybe something like Vestige of Azkar.

I don't know, but it feels humble and archaic at the same time to me.
