	::To offer a potential explanation, I imagine that it could/ would simply be a case that names such as these are more colloquial names given by the people living in the system. So the Gredani sector may simply be one of the sectors from this map in which a planet/ star named Gredani is the most notable location of note, but would otherwise be officially referred to as (for example and totally arbritary) Sector 2, Sub-Volume 2-3. That's a bit of a mouthful and sounds incredibly sterile, so saying it as the Gredani sector is likely easier on the tongue and in general easier to remember. I really love this system though, giving the randomly chosen numbers and letters context is brilliant, and the coincidental similarity with the CAA logo is really just the cherry on top. It gives the CAA logo more symbolism in a similar to vein to how the UN logo is the Earth on a map. Were this to be canon, the side parallel of the CAA logo inadvertently emphasising the Sol System/ Earth's importance at the centre really goes with the UNSC/ UEG's image, and adds a tiny little bit more to the Insurrection conflict as a whole.

			:::I was thinking the same. Earth started out with the sky mapped in constellations covering 100% of the sky. It made sense to me that Earth would be exempt from sector classification itself and that only colonies beyond the Sol system (or more properly the ones requiring slipspace travel to get to) would be in the numbered (and later lettered) sectors. -[[User:ScaleMaster117\|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117\|talk]]) 19:21, 16 September 2018 (EDT)
