Some system names are easily misspelled or missing sections and therefore here is a useful list of the common sector names and some other conventions to save a bit of time.
The systems NLTT 48288 and MCC 811 are particularly common. Raise a drink if you see one! If, even after using this list, have difficulty finding a system, MechaSqueak has a !search command for finding mistypes in known system names. If you use this command, please use it in #ratchat so that other Rats can see the results.

Procedurally Generated System Naming Conventions
LL-L L#-#
LL-L L#
Where L is a single letter and # is any length number up to 4 digits. For example COL 285 Sector HB-G A40-3 is a valid system name, but COL 285 Sector H8-6 A40-3 is not.
This naming convention applies to procedurally generated names (see Common Sector Names). Other number/naming conventions exist.

Do I win a prize for noticing that all of the sectors except one are within 1500Ly of Sol while the other is like 9000Ly away?
