Below is the official coat of arms for the Circe. The colors, metals and figures were selected for their traditional heraldric symbolism as they apply to the battlecruiser Circe. Remember: in ancient Terran heraldry, a distinction was made between the 'metals' (gold and silver) and the 'colors' (red, blue, purple, green, black, orange, and maroon)- no color would ever be placed on top of another color. In essence, the rule was 'metal on color' or 'color on metal'; the Circe's coat of arms respects this ancient tradition. | Below is the official coat of arms for the ''Circe''.
