	*Prior of the announcement of the discovery of [[wikipedia:TRAPPIST-1\|TRAPPIST-1]] on February 22, 2017, the [[Stellar Forge]] in ''[[Elite Dangerous]]'' had coincidentally generated a system with similar characteristics in nearly the same location: Core Sys Sector XU-P A5-0. In ''[[Elite Dangerous: Horizons]]'' 2.3, Frontier Developments updated the in-game system to have the same characteristics as the real system, and also renamed it to "Trappist-1".
