I wasn't happy to do it, but the convention is named Conquest and if
they want the name translated, I wanted to stick as close to it as
possible. I considered how I would name a ship Conquest. I decided
that I would not. However, if I did, it would have to be the variation
of the meaning, "the act of attempting to conquer." It is extremely
difficult to put this into one word and the closest I could get was,
"the conquering," or charghlI'ghach.
