How should we tag Rex: Last Days of an Empire questions?

Question

I've got a Rex question, but rex-final-days-of-an-empire is too long - what should we use as the tag?

Some possibilites would be rex-final-days, rex-final-days-empire, and rex-fdoae. I used rex-final-days-empire for the moment, for the sake of more recognizable words.

What's the verdict?

I can't actually think of any reason not to use rex, as there's nothing else out there similar enough to confuse with the tag at the moment.

rex-final-days or rex-final-days-empire are OK but prolix; they don't actually add to the clarity of the game description. twilight-imperium-rex isn't discoverable enough. (Although there might be an argument for rex-twilight-imperium. A similar issue could arise with the Android games at some point.)

Failing that, we could always use dune. ;)

Aside: We can always synonym in the longer forms if there're signs of confusion.

Wait, so this is the republished Dune game? AWESOME!

@AlexP: Yep. Those who don't know the Dune universe are unlikely to see anything in it, but the retheming to Twilight Imperium is really obvious if you do. Even if you didn't play the original Dune game, for example, you can easily guess which TI faction represents which Dune unit.
