Notes
- Gamma Draconis is also known by its proper name, Eltanin, though it is never referred to as such in the game.
- In the Freespace continuity, there are no planets, moons, or other stellar bodies in the Gamma Draconis system whatsoever. It is possible that another previous close encounter with another system stripped it of its circumstellar material, but no canon information on this is given.
- Amusingly, one HLP member has noticed that an anagram of "Gamma Draconis" is "Armada's Coming." ([[1]]
