Or its anglicisation 'Hecla'.
After the icelandic volcano* and which gave its name to a ship class frequently used in polar exploration and surveying (and hence several locations around Canada). The explorer William Parry famously set a record for 'furthest north' which stood for about 50 years whilst aboard the HMS Hecla , and the doomed Franklin expedition was aboard two hecla-class ships (HMS Erebus and HMS Terror).
Oddly, upon checking the spelling variants, the first entry on google for 'hecla' turns up a mining company - even better.
'Endurance' is a bit too generic.
*note to icelandic head of volcano naming: that's how it's done. 'Eyjafjallaj+Škull' - what the heck!? |

Eyjafjallaj+Škull is not the volcano itself (its name is Eyjafj+Šll) but its the ice cap that sits on top of the volcano, as M++rdalsj+Škull sits atop a volcano called Katla.*
Also, the Icelanders are Modern Vikings (albeit with less pillaging as of late), with a language which has barely changed in 1200 years.

The new ice mining frigate will have 3 high slots, and will be able to " fit one of three new frigate sized Ice Mining Lasers". Half Life 3 confirmed. |

Generic isn't really the right word I agree. Unoriginal? Obvious? |

An ice-mining frigate.
I tell you.
Back in my day, we mined with regular frigates.

I liked "discovery" better than "endurance". And for me it looks more like a frigate sized Ore and Ice hauler.
pack it up with compressed bistot and off you go to jita in frigate speed
