Talk:Operation Orb/@comment-33326752-20171203130100/@comment-35434444-20200523150639

I was not aware of the connotations 宝珠 had, but I think both terms should be used if possible: "orb" by the empire due to the afforementioned allusion to imperial might (citing that orb designs are the most traditional in narrative) and the more pluralistic term "jewel" for the allied forces.

Similarly, "calculation" could be interpreted to have a Cartesian flavor to it befitting the allies, whereas "operation" has connotations of control and dominion appropriate to the Empire.

I'm more or less making stuff up with the second part, but the point is that I think the translation could benefit from taking advantage of the term's ambiguity in order to further enrich the setting.
