Description
Θrder Square: Subjug8 is an ambient song by Free Association that features gentle chords and repeating ambient percussion and sound effects. About halfway through, a peaceful piano melody starts, accompanied by the chords in the background.
Like Σntrance: Archon, Σntrance: Dynamis, and Σntrance: Platonic Solid, this song and its variations are played in-game via multiple different audio tracks that are mixed together based on the player's relative proximity to certain objects in the Order Sector that are "generating" the song.

Etymology
Θrder uses the uppercase Greek letter "Θ" (theta) to mimic an "O", similarly to leetspeak. Θrder Square likely refers to the fact that the Order Sector is based off Inkopolis Square. Subjug8, Inciner8, and Liber8 each use the number "8" to stand in for "-ate" within each word using SMS language. The use of the number "8" might refer to Agent 8 or their general status as an Octoling. Inciner8 might refer to the empty state of the Order Sector when it is first encountered, Subjug8 might refer to Order's reign over the Order Sector, and Liber8 might refer to the freed status of the Order Sector after beating Overlorder for the first time.
