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").<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', page 175</ref> A notable exception to this is the ''[[Wholesale Price]]''<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 34''</ref>, though this may be an oversight.
