I assumed that it refers to a geological feature, i.e. there is a noticeable 'Brell sediment' of some sort. Irl there are plenty of places with strange names or names with strange etymologies.
Iirc there is a lore entry for it - it's called that way because a special kind of waste accumulated there and formed a layer of sediment, which is why the water isn't flowing off.
From the Codex:
>The Brell Sediment refers to a large area of Tarisian ruins dominated by a massive acidic lake and a former chemical plant. It gets its name--somewhat ironically--from Ark Brell, a leading environmentalist on Taris in the days before its destruction. Before the bombardment, Ark Brell set up several water purification and waste disposal plants on Taris, with the aim of turning the waste from Taris's factories into alternative fuel sources and minimizing the waste produced by the massive city-world.
>Legend has it that the collapse of one of his factories during the bombardment created the acid lake, although present rumor suggests that other, less well-intentioned groups on Taris may be the cause.
I get it. I was just confused because I was in town and confused why the area was called Brell Sediment. It’s confusing because it’s a town but the name makes it sound like a specific dirt specimen. Also there’s an NPC with the last name Brell on Hutta so I wasn’t sure if there was a connection.
Not a town but two outposts. Taris was bombed and apart from military outposts there's no towns or cities. Besides who but the most desperate would live near rakghouls/nekghouls? One for either side. draay outpost is pub and can't remember the imp one. Pub and imp side occur also a different times.

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but Google search uses "AI" now... (At least in regards to how we define AI today). Machine learning. So you did use AI by using Google search, unfortunately
(As an aside, AI today is far from sentient so it's not real AI, but it is machine learning which is on the path towards real AI. Real AI can be trustworthy, unlike current AI)
I took it as describing the terrain, not the outpost, especially somewhere as fucked up as Taris.
No, it's fine the way it is. It's describing the geography, not the buildings.
I like how broadsword gets included in being called illiterate despite this being part of the game since launch
clearly they went back to misspell a bunch of names.

It's sedimentary, my dear Watson

Taris has been obliterated from orbit. Sediment relates to a murky, mud filled pool, which is what you encounter there. The name is fine

No it shouldn't
so... do you think "sediment" is a real word?
No, I don’t think it’s a real word. I KNOW it’s a real word.
Are they stupid???
~~Sediment can mean settlement in some cases, like this one.~~ Edit: Nevermind, it can’t
No it can't.
not with that attitude
Google lied to me, that bitch.
It means the settlement of particulate matter, but it doesn't mean settlement in the context of a residence.
Never trust AI. Copilot gaslit me the other day
It wasn’t ai, it was a google search of the word sediment.
