Locations
  • *Altair—this is a real star, but the system has been mentioned several times in Star Trek. It is unlikely that there is a direct connection between the blueprints and the canonical Altair 9. *Atrios—a fictional planet from Doctor Who. *Beta 6—the "Beta VI colony" is mentioned in the classic Star Trek episode The Squire of Gothos. *Ceti Alpha—although resembling the name of the real star Alpha Ceti, the specific name of Ceti Alpha is from Star Trek. *Coridan—a fictitious planet from Star Trek. It is unlikely that there is a direct connection with the canonical Corridan sector, although this may be a reference back to the original location in Star Trek. *Cygnus—the putative capital of the "Cygnus Star Empire", giving rise to the name of the Cygnus Spaceworks that apparently found its way from here into canon. The "Cygnus Star System" is the only location that seems genuinely original to the blueprint; probably named for the real constellation Cygnus, the Swan, although the name of the "Pyxidis Asteroid Belt", said to be in this star-system, would rather imply a location in the constellation Pyxis, the Compass. However, planets with similar names are also known in Star Wars , Star Trek , Doctor Who , and the British sci-fi series Blake's 7 . Cygnus Alpha was also apparently the name of a sci-fi fanzine. Any one of these could perhaps have inspired the name used here. *Daria - a fictional planet from Space 1999. *Delta Magna—a fictitious planet from Doctor Who. *Deneb—a real star also mentioned in Star Trek. *Holberg 917—Holberg 917G is a fictional planet in Star Trek. *Janus—Janus VI is a fictional planet in Star Trek. *Omega—in Star Trek, Holberg 917G is in the Omega system, and there is also a planet named Omega IV. *Piri—a fictional planet from Space 1999. *Pollux—a real star, also the primary for the fictional planet Pollux IV in Star Trek. *Remus—a fictional planet in Star Trek. *Rigel—a real star and a location in Star Trek. It is probably only a coincidence that a planet named Rigel VII had appeared in official Star Wars material in 1978. *Sigma Iotia—Sigma Iotia II is a fictional planet from Star Trek. *Skaro—the fictional [[w:c:Tardis:Skaro
