BattleTechWiki, as a policy, does not use unofficial [[Canon#Meta-sources|meta-sources]] as references for material incorporated into articles located on Sarna. However, as there are no longer [[Canon#Canon|canon]] coordinates for systems located in the BattleTech universe, and because the use of a coordinate system has been deemed important to the informational needs of system articles, the BTW team decided to make use of what has been determined to be a very reliable method of determining locations of those systems. This essay describes the issues with the previously published (and previously canon) coordinates, the now-official stance regarding those coordinates and how coordinates based on the official maps has been extrapolated.

BattleTechWiki, as a policy, does not use unofficial meta-sources as references for material incorporated into articles located on Sarna. However, as there are no longer canon coordinates for systems located in the BattleTech universe, and because the use of a coordinate system has been deemed important to the informational needs of system articles, the BTW team decided to make use of what has been determined to be a very reliable method of determining locations of those systems. This essay describes the issues with the previously published (and previously canon) coordinates, the now-official stance regarding those coordinates and how coordinates based on the official maps has been extrapolated.
