Neptune Verne is a bearded man, so is Neptune. :) This is a common word used in some two- or three-letter names. Jules Verne is best known for his visionary ideas and prophecy: inventions that were made real decades later than he "discovered" them on paper. Neptune is the first "fictional" planet discovered on paper by mathematical prediction, later proved to be real. Neptune is 17 times the mass of the Earth. It was first discovered on paper when Jules Verne was 17 years old. :) This word has also several meanings (a planet, a god, a city etc.) which gives a lot of opportunity to keep moving from it for the next release. Neptune: the other Blue Planet in the Solar System. I think this planet fits the Fedora's style quite well, though I am not an artist.

Villeroi {Verne,Villeroi} is famous for creating the designs for the US Navy's first submarine termed the "USS Alligator" for possible use in the US Civil War. The first submarine was created during the Revolutionary War and given the named Turtle, however, this craft never served in the US Navy . "no collision" audio pronunciation by FrenchForAll at http://www.forvo.com/word/villeroi/ Around the year of 1842 Brutus de Villeroi was the professor of drawing and mathematics at the college Jules Verne attended. It has been speculated there is a very good chance De Villeroi may have been one of Jules Verne's teachers that could have inspired Verne's conceptual design for the "Nautilus" submarine in his famous book Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. source http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Verne . Then yet again, one still wonders "maybe" Verne's drawings and/or writings while attending the college may have inspired or given the teacher ideas to help create a very deep, air compressed and water tight underwater vessel. Hence, the first US Navy submarine was born and presented into the soon to be booming industrial age. Note: The Confederate south also had submarines thats on display. What were their names? I view names of alligator, turtle that the north had. Where's a shark or moby the whale? Themes-yes, submarines, ships, beautiful ocean fish etc.
