Abstract: Let \(G\) be a finite non-abelian group, let \(Φ\in Z^3(G,\mathbb C^\times)\) be normalized, and let \(V,W\) be finite-dimensional simple objects of \({}_G^G\mathcal{YD}^Φ\). We classify, up to interchange, the braided-indecomposable pairs \((V,W)\) whose supports generate \(G\) and for which \(\mathcal B(V\oplus W)\) is finite-dimensional. The classification consists of eight cases with five possible support quandles. In every case the Cartan graph is standard of type \(A_2\), \(B_2\), or \(G_2\), and the dimension is determined explicitly. A new phenomenon occurs {in the \(Γ_2\) case}: the twisted setting admits a family of type \(G_2\) absent from the ordinary \(Γ_2\) classification and we construct an explicit example over a non-abelian group of order \(16\).
