What happens next is in each battle the game runs through the list giving one name to each ship of that type that spawns. There's no randomisation of names from the list and the position reached on the list doesn't persist between battles, so the first Star Destroyer in any battle will always get the first name on the list, the second Star Destroyer will always get the second name, and so on.

Are there not enough names for the engine to choose from?
Or is the engine itself flawed, and tends to choose the same few names?
