| rdfs:comment | - The Solomons were a system of moons orbiting Alpha Caeli V in the distant Alpha Caeli system in the American Arm of colonized space. These objects were designated Alpha Caeli V b to h, implying there are seven in total. This seems to imply Alpha Caeli V is a gas giant. The moons were colonized to some degree, as the United States Colonial Marine Corps Eridani Marine Space Force maintained garrisons there.
- One early Dutch map of Earth pictured the Solomons (labeled "Eil. van Salomon"), twice, as placed by F. Gallego and Dudley. (Star Trek: Enterprise, opening credits) This is not a mistake but an authentic artifact from a period when the Solomons were known to exist, but there was debate as to their exact location. Robert Dudley incorrectly identified the Marquesas Islands as the Solomons, while F. Gallego seemingly refers to Hernán Gallego, navigator on the first expedition to spot the islands. As such, this map offers a historic precedent for the occasional multiple appearances of locations on Federation star charts. (to give one example, Theta Mees)
