Originally, the shuttle was named after a certain Science Fiction author who shall now remain nameless. But when lenny told me about Paul Dirac and his accomplishments, it just seemed suitable to name the shuttle after the man who first theorized antimatter, since the Tribunal herself does have an antimatter reactor.

A little education can pop up in the most unusual places, can’t it.
