The name "Caeustus Metalicus" has 2 possible translations to English from Latin:
- The first word, Caestus being a fighting glove often used in gladiatorial matches, akin to the sport of boxing.
- The second word, "Metallican", is similar to the Latin metallicus can either be interpreted as the Latin describing something as "of or belonging to metal, metallic", or if used as a noun in Latin meaning "miner; a digger of metals". Both are apt, if coincidental, descriptions of the ship and the events of the game.
