Subsector Disambiguation (2018)

There was a brief discussion on my talk page about the naming convention for subsectors where we need to disambiguate the name. That is, where the same name was used in two different places. For example, the name "Gulf" is used in both Deneb and Reaver's Deep.

I will admit the "(XX N)" was a quick and technically oriented fix. An alternative I might suggest would be to append the Sector name: <Name> Subsector (<Sector>)

Example: Gulf (RD A) Subsector -> Gulf Subsector (Reaver's Deep)

Example: Gulf (DA M) Subsector -> Gulf Subsector (Deneb)

Example: Edge (Da A) Subsector -> Edge Subsector (Diabei)

Example: Edge (Il M) Subsector -> Edge Subsector (Ilelish)

We can take those subsectors and rename them to remove the parentheses as if a sophont misspelled or misunderstood them, an easy thing to do in a universe with many cultures and sophonts.

• e.g. Gulf (RD D) Subsector → Gulf Rada Subsector
• e.g. Edge (Da A) Subsector → Edge Daa Subsector

Do you have a better fix? Feedback, please?
