Use of Weapons, Excession, Look to Windward and Matter all have at least some gravitas so any of the others?

Eh, I actually put some effort into that response. No one got it?

Those books all have at least one ship with "Gravitas" in it's name, so technically they have the most gravitas.

This is how you communicate with a fellow intelligence: you hurt it, you keep on hurting it, until you can distinguish the posts from the screams.
I wrote a whole ton of Culture-style ship names for Destiny. I wonder if they'll actually show up at some point.

I'd put up the best but I can't recall them!
