I headcanon that the name of the Chief Navigator from ETF is "Arpa". I put a lot of thots into my headcanon for his name. ARPA (Automatic radar plotting aid) is a navigation system that "...can calculate the tracked object's course, speed and closest point of approach (CPA), thereby knowing if there is a danger of collision with the other ship or landmass." What was he doing the whole movie? Tracking how close the Massive was to Earth and other targets.

An alternative was "Agere", meaning "to drive" in Latin ("agere" is one of the root words for "Navigation"-combine "navis", meaning ship, with "agere" and after several hundred years you get "navigation") but I can't use that one because we can't have nice things. Rats.

Anyway, behold our handsome mans!
