I'm all for the Victorian era Sci-Fi stuff !!!! here's my Tuppence worth
of title suggestions....

 For FT/MT/FT3:
THRUST FOR EMPIRE! or
Jolly Jack Tars - off to the Stars !

For D2: LANDSHIPS and SPEARHEADS or Gardners, Gatlings, and Glory

For SG2:
"RED-COATS for the RED PLANET"
or
"It's Special Ether-Flyer for Atkins when the Martians are on the
Prowl..."

Doesn't scan. "Martian's on the Prowl" works better. Say it three times fast.
Ten points for Kipling reference, 3 points for it being
on-topic, and -5 for bad poetry.

Tried it with the ('s) but couldn't live with the (belongs to the Martian)
grammar bit. This is why I'm a CompTech and not a Po8. Ah well, serves me
right for writing AND editing. But the Idea is sound....

"Martian is" would easily be distorted to "Martian's" if using the sloppy
enunciation of some of Mr.Kipling's best poetry. "But Tommy ain't a bloomin'
fool, you bet that Tommy sees!" YMMV.
