I think the simplest solution is to just switch the stellar data between Eakhoi and Troutiyka (Dark Nebula 2230 B000277-E), a low population asteroid belt world in the same subsector.
It still leaves the problem of having an extremely bright supergiant star too close to Terra, but I guess I am willing to chalk it up to the mysteries of projecting a 3 dimensional space onto a 2 dimensional jumpspace map.
Dark Nebula has a lot of weird stars compared to the neighboring sectors and probably bears some scrutiny. (It certainly appears the stellar data was generated using a different system than other sectors.) I'm just not sure what criteria to apply to a review. Would we just want to make sure the stars are "possible" using the T5 expanded system generation rules?
While we're at it, I have several questions about Dark Nebula:

While we're at it, I have several questions about Dark Nebula:
- Is there really a dark nebula in the sector, or is the name just poetic license?
- If there is a dark nebula, what is it and where is it located? (A giant molecular cloud might fit the bill.)
- Is it possible to reconcile the astrography of the Dark Nebula boardgame with Dark Nebular sector data, if even loosely? It seems like someone must have taken a shot at this.
