The exact length is going to vary, since the game uses proportional fonts.

From one of my solo games, I've noticed that anything over 18 or so gets overwritten by the (Fleet Leader) label in a fleet, and anything over 21 wraps onto the status icons line in (F6) Ships.

Well, since it's "Director Tsaarx of the Moebius Consortium", I'd have to request that I be a boarding vessel... maybe a "Corporate Raider Tsaarx" (LC or cruiser size, probably). Or how about the "Downsizer Tsaarx" (battlecruiser or larger, with heavy weapons). Or even the "Protector Tsaarx" (as in, "We'd hate to see anything happen to your little store, so would you like to buy some protection from the Goodfellas?"). The Protector would have to be a big ship again, with sensors & a cloak...

For base hulls:

"Lieutenant Tsaarx Space Station"
"Consigliere Tsaarx Base Station"
"Godfather Tsaarx Starbase"

The other definition of Director (i.e., leader of an orchestra/band) would be more difficult to find ship classes for...

Oh, if you wanted to use the empire name, I'd suggest the warp-opener (or black-hole creator/destroyer) Moebius.
