Satres: what does it mean?

**Reverend Joe** · 08-19-2008, 02:31

I know it's a odd question, but why was the name "Satres" chosen for the supergenerals? Is it an anagram? A special name? or was it just random?

I hope he's not named after this guy...

Well, that's an interesting theory...

Seriously, does anyone actually know the answer to the question?

I think it was just a random pick really. Can't remember a dicussion about how to call the that rebel general... So i guess there's nothing behind it.

You guys really want the truth? It's how bovi's mother in law is called. She's spanish.

Yep. That's your ridiculous story right there.

Yeah...ridiculous story...yeah...sure...a story...

Seriously, you could have made up some kinda story about how it's an anagram for "Rastes" which was the battlecry of the soldiers of the Arverni Kingdom, a word believed to be descended directly from the Indo-European word "Razta," a word which can be traced, either directly or indirectly, from every existing word that is related to rebel, rebellion or a fight against oppression, especially the word "Rastafarian..." so in other words, Sartes is a Rastafarian.

Or something like that.

Well maybe I already posted the real awser... And maybe it wasn't random...

I think I'll go with Joe's suggestion. Sounds a lot better.

**machinor** · 08-22-2008, 18:19

Well maybe the name is derived from Jean-Paul Sartre. I mean a general who, after being slaughtered time and time again with his army, gets resurrected just to fight the same battle over and over again would surely start to ask himself some existentialistic questions.
