Talk:Andorian system

Continuity conflicts
The Andorians: Among the Clans describes the system as being located 274 LY from Sol and consisting of seven planets.

Page 52 of Star Charts gives a completely different description. citing its primary as Procyon, located 11.5 LY from Sol, and listing Andoria as the eighth planet. The Worlds of the Federation concurs with this description.

Additionally, Star Charts cites information from ENT but forgets that Andoria is a moon of a gas giant, not a planet (hence it should be something like Procyon VIIIa instead of simply Procyon VIII as listed).

This is the problem with the policy of trying to treat everything as the same continuity: you wind up having to give multiple editor notes to list all the various descriptions that have been given. Unlike the Star Wars EU past or present, Star Trek's EU does not have a single centrally controlled continuity, so why does this wiki bother trying to go through these ridiculous contortions to justify a single coherent universe?

More specifically, what do we do with this article? My preference would be to give highest priority to canon information and sources that concur with it, i.e. televised ENT, Star Charts, and Worlds, and list anything conflicting with those in a separate section, as has been done with, for example, The Romulan Way's version of the Earth-Romulan War which was jossed by ENT. --StarSword (talk) 02:22, June 26, 2016 (UTC)
