McAuliffe VI, also known as McAuliffe, was the primary planet of the McAuliffe system. It is not clear in the canon if the planet "McAuliffe", the site of the Confed military base and the McAuliffe Ambush, is the same as the planet "McAuliffe VI", the site of a scientist base mentioned in the Wing Commander I cutscene. This article assumes that they are the same planet, based on a line in The Memoirs of Lieutenant Colonel Carl T. LaFong where "McAuliffe VI" is called simply "McAuliffe".
