Forum:SH:The Essential Atlas and system names

Well, my long-awaited copy of The Essential Atlas finally arrived from Amazon, and I've been hungrily devouring it (figuratively speaking, of course!). However, while scouring it for information on the homeworlds of FA and GA aliens from WookieeProject Aliens, I've noticed that quite a few of the systems listed in the appendix differ from what has been established in earlier sources. For example, the home system of Makem Te is called the Makem Te system in the appendix, but previous sources (such as Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds) have called it the Makem system. Similarly, the Bith homeworld of Clak'dor VII is listed as being in the Clak'dor system, rather than the Colu system as it is listed in sources such as Galaxy Guide 4: Alien Races.

What should we do in these cases? Should we assume that these systems go by two names and create redirects from the Atlas names to the previous ones? Should we assume the Atlas overrides previous sources? Or does it say somewhere in the Atlas that some "systems" listed are actually planet names and ignore them in such cases? ~ SavageBob 05:42, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
