‘Relativity’ would anyway be generic, non-descriptive for this product domain and cliche, but then to mispell it just to 'get a domain' (or whatever the logic was) seems poorly considered - every time I see 'relativty' i

I'd wager that it's more of a Political Union (hence Brexit, to a degree?) and is still too young to have meddled much in an overall coherent military strategy. Time will tell.
