Nope.

Hint: It's not a star that exists in the real world, but it is borrowed from another well-known work of fiction.

Neither. Not from Star Trek or Star Wars. Classic sci-fi literature.

I'm thinking on the name, but if it helps anyone I'm sure it's from one of Asimov's stories. They also share the Encyclopaedia Galactica with Levitz's Legion.

It does begin with a T, but it's not Triton (a real-world moon of Neptune).

shrug You did, but right now I'm just guessing anything I can think of that starts with a T.

The new membership issue is coming up in the rereads thread. But which active member was left out of the roll call at the end of the issue?
