Carrissa is a female name reflecting beauty and creativity. In many ways it is closely related to the name, Eris who is the Greek goddess of strife and discord, her name being translated into Latin as Discordia. The name Carrissa differs however in that instead of spreading the strife and dischord, she has the affect of minimizing it or reducing it entirely. A woman who bears the name Carrissa will be strong and independent when she feels secure and supported. She thrives when she is loved and returns it with equal intensity. Carrissa’s throughout history have been known to inspire their lovers to accomplish great feats and the love they shares often grows into the stories poems are written about.

Get the Carrissa mug.Facts:
An air/space unit in the PC game 'Starcraft' that is used by the Protoss military forces. It is a slow moving behemoth of a captial ship that, instead of attacking with its own weapons, launches small robotic strike-craft called interceptors that it manufacturers in an internal factory. Used by many Protoss commanders to dominate far away planets. The carrier is now in-famous as a rushing weapon most commonly deployed by 'newbs' on Blizzards online competition arena Battlenet (see Carrier Rush).
Opinion:
I've always liked the carrier as a support unit. I admit to summoning them in masse' during the early days of my Battlenet career to attain cheap and tasteless victories, but I do not have shame using them as they were intented to be used.
Rumors:
"In Ressurection IV, a Protoss ship that may be a carrier is seen firing an immensely powerful beam from its underside as a planetary bombardment weapon, burning the surface of Braxis. A Protoss vessel, possibly a Carrier, was also seen in the introduction cinematic for the original Starcraft game, obliterating a Terran salvage vessel with a similar weapon.
While such bombardments were used against Chau Sara, Mar Sara and Antiga Prime, it's not clear if Carriers fired upon those planets as well.
Rumors indicate that the weapon fired used by the carriers on those instances was planned to be included in the game as a counterpart to the Terran Battlecruiser's Yamato Cannon, but later, this idea was scrapped due to the power given to the Protoss in the form of Psionic Storm."

Get the Carrier has arrived mug.Carrington's are absolutely gorgeous creatures whom everyone loves. They tend to be out going, exuberant, pretty and lots of fun. Carrington's are very friendly creatures but don't get them angry, because they have a vicious side if you really piss them off. But that side of Carringtons is very rarely seen. Carrington's make perfect best friends as they are excellent listeners, always there for support and incredibly encouraging.
Oh my gosh, i really need someone to talk to! I'll go talk to Carrington, she always knows just what to say!
