Of the member rank names displayed above their avatars in messages, some show service ranks such as Staff Sergeant and Airman :: as expected. My rank is shown as Ori :: there is a Stargate people called Ori; unremarkable. But there are also rank names Thorin Oakenshield , Fili, etc, i.e. names of Tolkien dwarves -- and Ori is also a Tolkien dwarf's name.
