We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.
This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

United Empire — The entry describes a real-world professional wrestling stable, not a faction in Elite Dangerous canon.
United Empire — The entry conflates Elite Dangerous-style faction data with real-world wrestling events and details.
Tau Ceti Empire — The claim that 'Elite Dangerous began in the year 3301' is incorrect; the game's timeline began in 3300.
Tau Ceti Empire — The claim that the game is set '1,285 years after the events of Frontier: First Encounters' is inaccurate; it is set 1,285 years after the original Elite, not Frontier: First Encounters.

First Contact Incident — The date '3125' is incorrect; the first confirmed hostile encounter with Thargoids occurred in 3122.
First Contact Incident — The claim that the Frame Shift Drive was invented in the 22nd century is incorrect; the first practical FSD was created in 2296 (23rd century).
Sirius — The starport 'The Frying Pan' does not exist in Elite Dangerous canon; the primary starport in the Sirius system is 'Patterson Enterprise' (an Orbis starport).
