Earnon

From Space Quest Omnipedia

Earnon is best known as the solar system containing Xenon, threatened by its dying sun. The system was saved through the use of the Star Generator, and ultimately by Roger Wilco. The planet Earnon is the home of the Earnon Sea Urchin.

[edit] Plot Inconsistency

In the introduction to the original Space Quest and introduction in the SQ1VGA manual is messing up the meaning of the words: "sun", "galaxy" and "solar system". According to those sources, Earnon is a galaxy. But later on, it's made clear that the "sun" of Earnon is dying. AND, it describes Earnon as an "old system". The manual is actually talking about the "solar system" Earnon, which contains a planet called "Xenon". A galaxy contains billions of stars, not one. A solar system, however, contains one star only. To put even more weight on this statement, the EGA manual says: "Far beyond the reaches of known space lies a planetary system known to its inhabitants as Earnon". It is possible that Earnon was originally intended to be the name of a galaxy in which the Earnon system is located.

Depending on the source Earnon may be implied to be in its own galaxy or a system in another galaxy such as the Milky Way or Andromeda.
