Ok, so where are these... Is there is a Hilthros system, and a Sirius system? Or are they the same system.
Red and Blue starts out in an unnamed academy on planet. The academy bible stats that it's Hilthros. Although there are a number of details that differ from Hilthros as its described or shown in other sources. Additionally some issues with KIlrathi Saga which seems to give Blair (and LaFong) an Anthony as their room mate, meaning they had to have shared the same room. Star*SOldier makes Blair adn LaFong seperate characters.
In the tv show though it shows Blair has his own room, as do others training at that academy.
Now this is where it becomes even more tricky... The Wing Commander Movie Handbook, describes the events of Red and Blue and places them in Sirius. Whereas the Movie Novels describe the same events and mentions it occurring in Hilthros (as in the Academy bible)...
Some fans (including some essays and articles on this website) seem to split these systems into two (there might even be references to specific Hilthros system and Sirius system as well). While other fans seem to put Hilthros as a planet in the Sirius system. This makes sense since the events of Red & Blue are pretty specific (defeat of a blockade runner/destroyer) and not likely to have happened 'twice' in two different systems, and if it did, sources would be more likely to note it as well...
