Mongoose
Okay I know B5 was inconsistent with itself on the destruction of the Black Star (mind you In The Beginning is almost totally inconsistent with the series), but why did Mongoose decide to use both versions of the Black Stars destruction in their books?
In Coming of Shadows it mentions about Sheridan destroying the Black Star by mining the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. This obviously happened in the series as the Minbari were gearing up to mount their final attack on Earth.
However in the Earth Alliance Fact Book it is mentioned regarding his destruction of the Black Star (or Dark Star as it is here) as taking place quite some time before the Minbari locate the Sol system as mankinds home.
I know the series was inconsistent on this point, but shouldn't you have picked one version or the other and gone with it instead of having both and thus drawing question on it?
