Yeah, I think this book/podcast is what named them Ceti Eel. I'm pretty sure they're unnamed in Wrath of Khan.
So Khan and gang are on Ceti Alpha V. We see foreshadowing that Ceti Alpha VI is going to blow up. And we know it does in Wrath of Khan. What I don't understand is how Chekov and company mistake Ceti Alpha V for VI. Khan says that the planet's orbit shifted because of the explosion of VI.
But if VI is the outter most planet, how does it push V out further? Or like, how could they have mistaken V for VI when there is clearly a missing planet in the system. I guess because they were looking for a non-M class planet and didn't even bother to count the planets in the Ceti Alpha system. I guess that makes sense...
It also doesn't exactly make sense that a planet would just blow up, but I guess it could happen...
Anyway, I'm really enjoying this audio drama. This is honestly my first audio drama. I hope some animator with too much free time tries to make some cool visuals to go with this.
