General How does one decode a USqP code?

Hello,
I have been checking the Wiki and seen the Squadron designations:
USqP: 001-S1U-300-0
and
USqP: 002-T1U-300-0

The Wiki does have the statements:
SDBs Squadrons USqP Troops CF & UTP Homeworld CF
And
Lists data on populated worlds of importance(CF >0) Standard USqP data for squadrons & Counters Standard UTP data for off-world troops & Counters
Lists local Nobility to worlds. Keep a track on machinations! Lists Commodores and their tactical abilities Standard Cruiser squadrons supplied in data
USqP Lists standard Universal Troop Profiles (UTPs) for offworld troops.

Nowhere else have I find a listing for "USqP" and the above does not define how to decode the data provided.

Does anyone have that information?
 
So USqP has to be used to differentiate that.
Universal Squadron Profile.

Working out what the codes mean would be the next trick.

Yep, that "Working out what the codes mean" is the big part..
So "001-S1U-300-0" and "USqP: 002-T1U-300-0"

From context, I got that they start with "001" and "002" for "Squadron 1" and "Squadron 2"
The rest is exactly the same except for the character "S" and "T" in position 4 in each

Both are supposed to be Combat Squadrons.
Beyond that, there is no further context to be had :(

I have not found the code key but I have found an example I did not realize I had in my own records:

How is it calculated or the source? There are various entries if you run the program, but nothing appears in how the software decides whether or not it is 1 or 2 SBD squadrons or a battalion of infantry for a planet?
 
there are a few options in generating systems in H&E, so it may depend on the options taken.

edit: at a guess, though, probably the World Builders Handbook. As I don't have that other than Grand Census

I am missing a component Twiste-1 not currently registered file is missing or invaldi. Does anyone know how to fix this?
 
The Twiste~1 is Twisted Pixel file. If you downloaded the zip file, there should be a "Twisted Pixel Readme.txt" file to describe how to install the file onto your computer.
