Two different and apparently mutually exclusive descriptions for Thuban exist:
+
'''X''': -196.11
 +
'''Y''': 458.42{{e}}
  
*According to the novel ''[[Operation Excalibur]]'', Thuban (Alpha Draconis) is a binary star system of two blue-white A0-class stars circling each other at a distance of thirty-two million kilometers with a period of fifty-one standard days.<ref name=OE>''Operation Excalibur'', p. 104 (PDF edition; page number may vary for print edition)</ref> The radiation was described as "demonic" and uncomfortably high even out at the [[jump point]]. The inhabited "planet" in the Thuban system is a hollow, "inside-out" world built into a moon-sized asteroid by [[Star League]] engineers. Its spin had been hastened to the point where centrifugal forces provided gravity on the inside. The enclosed environment is entered through airlocks, and light is piped in as needed.<ref name=OE/>
 
  
*Conversely, the short story ''[[Damage Control]]'' describes Thuban as a vast open-environment world with a breathable atmosphere and wide, lava-encrusted plains around Scorpius Mons, the planet's largest highest volcano.<ref>''[[Damage Control]]''</ref>
