BE Naming Conventions and Personnel Files

Summary:

A collection of Barish-Estranza Naming Conventions including SecUnit, Human, and Ship identifiers. Includes detailed personnel files for all SecUnits, Humans, and Ships featured in the BE Naming convention. May contain spoilers for the fics listed below.

Table of Contents:
1. Conventions

Notes:

They have names! My goal here was to create a naming system that was both entirely unique and completely soulless (and also avoid having to actually name as many things as possible.) An unfortunate side effect of this is that these names are kind of confusing and not very human friendly, but I've tried my best to mitigate that as much as possible.

The remaining parts will be updated with chapters of other stories.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Conventions

Chapter Text

SecUnit

  • [ShipCode][class]-[number]
  • LL03-3C
    • The 0x3C (60th) class three of the LifeLine.
    • The number is a sequential hexadecimal number.
      • A decimal translation will be provided for convenience.
  • SecUnits are generally referred to with their most unique designation.
    • Onboard the LifeLine, LL03-3C would be called 03.
    • In the Distribution Center, LL03-3C would be called LL03.
    • In the Training Center, TC01-661 would be called 661.
    • In the Training Center, TC661-0299 would be called 661-02

Human

  • [ShipCode]-[EIDnumber]
    • The ship code is rarely used onboard the ship or by SecUnits with the same ship code.
    • It is possible (however rare) for 2 humans to have the same EID number. This is the only case where the ship code is used.
    • Humans generally default to actual names.
  • EID numbers are 7 digits.
    • EIDs are in decimal.
  • The first 2 numbers indicate the department the human works in.
    • 43 is engineering
    • 12 is supervisory
    • 86 is SecUnit handling
    • 04 is training
    • 00 is trainees
    • 33 is technicians
  • Humans will keep the same EID number unless they change departments, in which case only the last 5 digits will remain the same unless there is another human employee with the same EID number on the same ship, in which case a new EID will be generated.
  • Override codes consist of the last 3 digits of an EID combined with 3 randomized hexadecimal digits.
    • Override codes are only issued to handlers and supervisors.
    • The hierarchy of override codes is supervisors (in standard order), then handlers, then class 1.
    • Override codes are randomized before every mission and are regenerated within 8 cycles of their first use.

Ship

  • Two words with a unique 2 letter sequence. 
    • LL
      • LifeLine
    • MC
      • MovraCoch
  • Reserved codes are
    • TC
      • Training Center
      • The training center has a different naming convention for SecUnits.
        • Class 1 SecUnits are named as normal.
        • Class 2 and class 3 SecUnits are named based on their class 1.
          • TC01-661’s third class 2 would be called TC661-023
          • Exception: When a class 1’s lower classes reach 4 digits, the class 1 code is dropped entirely as it is assumed that all hexadecimal numbers with that many digits are unique at any given time.
            • TC01-661’s 4394th class 2 would be called TC02-112A
      • ETC, STC, and TTC are valid human EID codes. Because it is the largest training center, the SecUnit training center is the only one with the TC code.
    • DC
      • Distribution Center
      • Given to newly promoted or manufactured SecUnits before they’re assigned to the Training Center or a ship.
      • Issued to SecUnit technicians regardless of their station.
