The campaign's Celestial Name is 'In This Clay Carcase'. It's from a line in Edward FitzGerald's translation of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam:

Why, if the Soul can fling the Dust aside,
And naked on the Air of Heaven ride,
Were't not a Shame — were't not a Shame for him
In this clay carcase crippled to abide?

"A kind and loving creator would never do this, and a cruel one would simply have made the air out of acid!"
