Need a Travellerism for the abbreviation "PW"

I need a two-word phrase for Traveller. The first word starts with "P", and the second with "W", or some variant of a W (like a U or even an O).

For example, it could be a pithy Vilani phrase, such as Paargashaam Udegelari, whatever that may mean. Or it could be Anglic, such as "Power Orbit", whatever THAT means. Power ... Wombat? Weapon? (meh) War? (double meh).

The more generally applicable to Traveller it is, the better. So for example "Power Weapon" is not as useful in this situation as "Proud Warrior", but that in turn is not nearly as useful as some phrase meaning "SF Adventure In The Far Future"... or even just "Far Future" (maybe Paargashaam Udegelari is a variation on that theme).

Okay, creative minds, awake.

Your desired context could be useful information.;)

Traveller = Professional Wanderer

Good point.

namecheap.com offers domain names ending in .pw at $4 a year. I figure that's cheap enough for me, but I need a Travellerism to make it vaguely rational.

Professional Wanderer... that's very good.

"Protected World" - one step away from an interdiction or a reserve, perhaps visitable under supervision??

"Precision Whiteout" - weather control or other means of obscuration used for tactical reduction in vision, sensors and surveillance.

"Prohibited Weasels" - I got nothing.
 
"Passengers Wanted". On backwater systems with limited infonets it is common to post listings for outgoing ships with the abbreviation "PW" to distinguish from cargo or courier possibilities. For example, "Free Trader/Regina/PW - 1105-127@DB94"
