It K Z TSIOLKOPSKY. The last letter is a "short i" (Й), meaning the last bit of the name is pronouced as E-I. Sort of.
You could either have К Е ЦИОЛКОВСКЙ, or К Е ЦИОЛКОВСКИЙ, or if you want to transliterate the original Polish, it would be something like К Е ЦИОЛОЎСКИ, but it would not sound right.
Incidentaly, the Ў is a "W" sound, and the В is a "V".

I know. I wasn't snarking on you for it; it is how it is. There's not a lot you can do with them.

Hey, Rev..I looked at the first Hood one again..is it supposed to be "I must down to the seas" or is it "go down to the seas"?

That Imperial one is definitely more interesting than the plain old good universe ones. "Veni, Vidi, Vici" might have made a good quote, although a little trite.

That should be used for the ISS Caesar. Since it is an earth centered empire, I don't imagine that there would be any ships named after aliens. So, we could see all of the evil names we wouldn't see in the normal universe. Like Hitler, Stalin, Nixon...
