Oh? Is there something I'm not thinking of?
The most simple acronym would be SA. It’s unfortunately the acronym for so many different things that it wouldn’t have a difficult time establishing an identity with and for the who.
If the VOY, ENT and DIS precedent were followed, some have proposed ACA since STA for Star could fit any of the shows. (I have seen ACA in the wild on other social media.)
The quibble with SFA is that Starfleet is one word not two and it’s unprecedented to go with the first letter in a syllable to get the designation.
For what it’s worth, SA seems to be what Memory Alpha has landed on. It’s designating article stubs for the show as ‘SA Performers’ etc.
Ah okay, I was afraid you had something more insidious in mind that I hadn't thought of.
I guess I feel like the "rule of threes" is more pleasing to the ears and eyes, and "Star Fleet" has certainly been two words from time to time over the years.
But really, as long as no one's being a troll about it, I think it's all good.
Curious too. Maybe they don't like the Scottish Football Association.
