2 Stations have names that confuse me:

Romulan Mining Colony:
Why does the mining station still use the old name style? It still uses #include "rom_global_station.odf" instead of using names.

Borg Mixed-Tech 'yard':
Why is it called (Classified)? The Borg don't classify, they keep no secrets and everything is shared. With their arrogance and superiority complex, they don't usually care if aliens learn either.

There are actually a literal ton of names that are confusing.

For instance, the Borg probe is called the "interceptor"
The abreviation for Breen is nbr
A lot of the old weapons in the dynamic string list have different names depending on where in the list you look... and it goes on.

My guess is they haven't been cleaned up yet

Yes, I realized that
It just seemed odd (as they ain't an NPC right now)... just like for example Remore is spelled Remoore in the odfs... typo

I always thought that was a homage to R.Moore!

yep, many odfs have different names then their actual units, as those are the development names, no need to change that 

and yep, teh Remore was called Remoore quite a while, before we decided to drop one "o"
