Well, I got the name from this passage:

In Greek mythology the Argus was a giant beast with a hundred eyes of which he could only close two at a time. Argus was the name of the builder of the Argo, the ship that carried the hero Jason in his quest for the Golden Fleece.

So my goal is to have TONS of "eyes" represented by lights, antennae, and external sensor arrays etc built into and onto the hull(s).

On a side note, Argus was placed by Juno to guard Io, whom Jupiter had changed into a heifer. But Mercury, who was sent to carry her off, managed to surprise and kill Argus whereupon Juno transfered his eyes to the tail of a peacock, her favourite bird.

Anyhoo... user added image
