Freighter identification code

Freighter identification codes are codes used by the UNSC Department of Commercial Shipping to identify freighters. They are primarily used during COM transmissions.

Freighter identification codes usually compose of a three-letter code followed by an eight- or nine-digit number. The letters correspond to the first letters of the freighter's name. If the freighter's name is only two words, the letter "X" is used as a substitute for the third letter (e.g. Contents Under Pressure would be "CUP", while Bulk Discount would be "BDX"). A notable exception to this is the Wholesale Price, though this may be an oversight.
