I would strongly suggest changing the name. "Ves pene" means something pretty much NSFW in Spanish. Besides that, nice job! Keep it up.

As a native speaker I have no problems with the name.

For those who don’t understand it may sound like “(you) see penis”. But to be honest I didn’t even make the connection when I read it the first time.

My first thought on seeing the name is the resource from StarCraft: “We require more vespene gas”

It's got to be a riff on the StarCraft resource, much like Ansible was a riff on Le Guin's faster-than-light communication device.

Indeed!

I wanted another Science Fiction reference to something I loved.

Vespene gas is very important in build order.

My probable worst name was Cobbler (the PXE server) for those that were into cockney, but it was originally named "Shoe", and the idea was a Cobbler makes boots.

Lo siento!
