Need help titleing a story

I'm currently writing an original sci-fi story that I plan on posting here soon. I have the prologue done, but I can't come up with a title. It's basically a story of a team of mercenaries in the Celestial Empire, a conglomerate of alien species including humans. They are given several political targets for assassination from a mysterious figure. They try to figure out the motivations of these assignments why trying to complete them, and in the process each character's motivations and past is explored. I know that's not much to base a title on, but I myself have barely thought past the first chapter.

I had originally planned to title it Sins of a Solar Empire, but a google search revealed that there is a RTS game of that same name that I didn't know about, so I can't use that.

As far as titling a story goes, I've always found it better to give a story a title that pertains to the plot. Since this is about mercenaries, I would consider a title centering around that. Play around with the subterfuge theme as well, and maybe you might be able to come up with a title based around that. You could even combine the two if you wish. :3

I've given thought to what you said, and I came up with a title: Fires of Prometheus. A part of the plot revolves around the subjects of a supersoldier program known as Project Prometheus, so it explores that aspect of the story. It also links to the original Greek myth (of Prometheus stealing fire to give to mortals), so that works as well. Thanks for your help.

I guess mods can lock this.
