Seriously? That had to be an intentional name. "Let's name our prototype after a fictional experiment that killed an entire planet of people and turned the survivors into rapey, murderous, cannibals."

Firefly is the class of ship Serenity is if I recall correctly. Don’t remember what the Reaver experiment was called.

Edit: Found it, was a chemical experiment called the Pax that had the opposite of the intended effect.

Technically it had too much of the effect on 99% of the population. They just sat down and died because they couldn't be bothered to continue living.

The other 1% had the opposite effect x100, murder cannibals
