== ComStar / Nova Cat vessels ==
The article [[Ranger (Individual Lola III-class WarShip, Clan Nova Cat)]] describes a WarShip of the Clan Nova Cat touman. I can't immediately tell whether that's the same vessel described in this article, or whether they're different Lola III WarShips with the same name. We need an article merge if they're the same vessel. If they're different, we need some kind of naming distinction that differentiates them. (And maybe an update to [[Policy:Article_Naming#Ships]] for the rare instance where two different spacecraft of the same class share a name.)

::One of the sources referenced in each entry, ''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'', lists both ships at the same time with different factions - a ''Lola III'' class ''Ranger'' in service with ComStar (p. 83) and an SLS ''Ranger'' in service with Clan Nova Cat (p.96) so we have two ships with the same name and of the same class active at the same time.

:::Thanks for checking! [[Policy:Article_Naming#Ships]] has been updated to cover this case, and I've moved both articles accordingly. [[User:Tosta Dojen|Tosta Dojen]] ([[User talk:Tosta Dojen|talk]]) 14:58, 13 August 2020 (EDT)
