Epsilon Virginis (Vindemiatrix) and Delta Draconis (Altais) also receive mention. Like Sigma Draconis (Alsafi), what information is provided in the text contradicts reality. Epsilon Viginis is described as being remote with no connection to the core except a wormhole connection to Visigoth, but It is only a little over 100 ly from Sol, the Bayer Designation is also contructed incorrectly by using "Virgo" rather than "Virginis". Delta Draconis is described as being far from Sigma Draconis when they are a bit less than 100 ly apart in real life, and would be considerably closer if their distances in the text were correct (40 and 75 ly from Sol in roughly the same direction as they are in the same constellation)
