Background[]
- ST reference: The Worlds of the Federation and ST reference: Star Charts specified Tiburon as the third planet with seven moons, whereas FASA RPG module: The Federation identified Tiburon as the second planet with two moons. It's possible that the planet's orbit was so elliptical that at times it could be considered either the second or the third planet.
