this is CD not shutting up about the Prometheus class

On naming one of them "USS Hecate":
from an overdone witchy webpage:

---

Hecate was the protectress of far off places, roads, and byways. At night during the dark moon, Hecate could be seen walking the road of Greece with her howling dogs and torches. Statues of her stood at crossroads where the traveler faced three choices. Food offerings called "Hecate's Supper" were left there late at night on the eve of the full Moon. The person leaving the food walked away without looking back, for they were afraid to confront the goddess face to face. This was a way of honoring the threefold goddess where on could look three ways at once.

A more less overtly religious overview can be found here, of special note being that Hecate is the daughter of two of the original titans (Prometheus being himself a titan) and is regarded as having three faces - appropriate for a vessel that splits into three components, no? Furthur, being a guardian of sailors, livestock, and the young should bode well for a class whose greatest utility outside of pitched battle is probably commerce protection - a small ship that can do the job of three, and has the speed and striking power of a capital ship to lay the smack down on raiders without tying up as much manpower or material as a Soveriegn or even a trio of Novas.
