In case you haven't noticed by his multitude of posts throughout almost every forum on this site Marc Schwanebeck is a moderator and Matrix employee who has contributed heavily to many of their games including UV.

Nah. I just wanted to have some fun with it. I get a kick out of the games I've collected through the years that have individuals that bear the names of some of the designers and developers. IIRC Squad Lader had several officers/noncoms named for designers and developers, including one seargent named for a famous movie character.....Steiner.

Didya ever run across the old sci-fi boardgame "Alpha Omega" that had two alien warships called "Aykroyd" and "Belushi"?
