L'oeul d'Dieu 2110 Spinward Marches

I was detailing systems as I moved along in my adventures. When I came to L'oeul d'Dieu (which, BTW seems to be a corruption of the french L'œil de Dieu, The eye of God.) when I saw from TravellerMap had a companion M9V.

I was under the (possibly wrong) impression that M9 stars did not exist.

Also, I have seen stars named [planet] Companion and [planet] Far Companion. Does this indicate the orbit of the secondary etc star? Wouldn't a far star be a "Secondary" or "Tertiary" with a possible Companion of it's own? I don't even want to think about the naming conventions for a T5 possible 8-star system. :eek:
 
Brown Dwarfs and Red Dwarf Stars overlap in the M6.5 thru M9.5, and on past the L0 range. An M9 star might be a very low mass Main Sequence Star, or a very high mass Brown Dwarf.

And "[FONT=arial,helvetica]L'œil de Dieu, The Eye of God" is also an unofficial name for the Helix Nebula, which is canonically located in the Vanguard Reaches.
