Seriously? That had to be an intentional name. "Let's name our prototype after a fictional experiment that killed an entire planet of people and turned the survivors into rapey, murderous, cannibals."
Firefly is the class of ship Serenity is if I recall correctly. Don’t remember what the Reaver experiment was called.
Edit: Found it, was a chemical experiment called the Pax that had the opposite of the intended effect.
Miranda was the planet the experiment was on
Ah you’re right
Technically it had too much of the effect on 99% of the population. They just sat down and died because they couldn't be bothered to continue living.
The other 1% had the opposite effect x100, murder cannibals
Someone also thought that Soylent is a good name for an actual product...
As long as it's not green
Green she to be one of the most prevalent colors for it.
