Recource for a SciFiRPG. Or a ShootEmUp. Comes up with names for items of equipment.
Fairly standard stuff; a bit of humour. The occasional things at the start in brackets are supposed to be the names of the companies or star systems that make them.
Maybe someday it'll come up with flavour text too. (TechnoBabble? generator)

// One day, I'll come up with better words than 'thing' and 'whatsit'. This is intended to generate names like 'dual carborundum' It can also sometimes include brand-names.
