Urquhart or Ur-Quan? A completely made-up homage

I just finished Fallout: New Vegas a few days ago and amidst the credits was current Obsidian chief, Feargus Urquhart. I’d kinda forgotten about him but since seeing his name I can’t stop repeating it in my head. FEARgus. UUUUUURK-HEART! FIRgus UR-QUART! I don’t know the exact pronunciation but I’m sure if I got it 100% correct I’d summon some kind of Gaelic demi-god.

While dodging animated runestones and demonic haggis I had another thought: “it sure sounds a lot like those aliens from Star Control, the Ur-Quan.” The internet has yet to tell me that the name of the alien race is anything but a cheeky homage to Feargus and so that’s the story I’m sticking with until it becomes an urban legend at the least.
