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.

Gah! I read it when I was doing research for Bits. All my guesses are beginning with T but I've several variations

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

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?
