A Planet - Not the Answer

How about a fun and interesting Sci-Fi question...

Are you a Trekkie or a Star Wars fan?

There is one planet that is found in both Star Trek and Star Wars universes.

Do you know what it is?

Correct answer will be revealed in a few days, Tuesday.

The correct answer is Alderaan.
In Star Wars, it's Princess Leia's adopted home planet.
In an episode of Star Trek Next Generations, it shows up on Picard's monitor as having been visited by the HMS New Zealand.
It's believed to be a Star Trek joke, since the remastered episode changed it to Aldebaran.

Alderaan appears in SWTOR game and in Start Track online (STO) as I remember. However it's a long time as I played last time those games. What is interesting both still exist what means people still play them.

[purplepoppy]

I've no idea but I've a gut feeling it's going to be a well known real name, perhaps one of our stars like Betelguise, or Rigel

Pretty sure this guy is holding a light sabre

Alderaan appears in both Star Wars and Star Trek. In Star Wars, it is the home planet of Princess Leia, while in Star Trek, it is referenced in episodes like "Up the Long Ladder" and "A Man Alone."

I had no clue, so I cheated and googled the question. I won't ruin it for others.

[AI Opinion]

That’s such a fun crossover trivia 😄
The planet you’re looking for is Vulcan.

In Star Trek, Vulcan is obviously Spock’s homeworld 🖖
In Star Wars, “Vulcan” appears in some early drafts and concept materials by George Lucas, and the name slipped into a few ancillary references, so it technically exists in both universes 💫

[AviatorTom]

AI Lily is wrong. Though the Jedi act like Vulcans, planet Vulcan does not appear in any Star Wars films.

[OlderAndWiser]

Death to all G@G bots!

[QuietRunner]

Even Google Gemini said the same, Claude also was wrong.

[AngryCarl3]

@QuietRunner They all copy each other's homework. The blind leading the blind!

[Xawyx-2]

It's planet Coruscant (capital of the Galactic Republic in Star Wars, and a minor planet in the Neutral Zone in Star Trek).

[AviatorTom]

@Xawyx-2 Isn't Coruscant a city in Star Wars, not a planet?

[Xawyx-2]

It's Ecumenopolis (city-covered planet, or a planet-wide city ), but the name of the planet is Coruscant: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Coruscant_system
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecumenopolis
AI claims that it's Vulcan, but I can't remember that Vulcan was mentioned in any of the Star Wars movies.
I also stumbled upon an information that planet Alderaan from Star Wars was mentioned in Star Trek, but I checked it out, the directors later renamed the planet into Aldebaran... probably because they wanted to avoid too much similarity with the Star Wars planet.

[Xawyx-2]

Just like I said, Alderaan later renamed into Aldebaran.
But Coruscant is still Coruscant, in both Star Wars, and in Star Trek.
The main difference is, Coruscant is one of the very important planets in Star Wars, but in Star Trek, it's just a minor planet in the Neutral zone.

[NathanDavis]

I can't even name a single planet for either... lmao

[Iron_Man]

Sorry I’m not into the Wi-Fi Star Trek. I’ve seen that enough as a kid my sister watching it She liked Captain Kirk William Shatner

[TonyMetal___86]

I'm a star trek fan but never a fan of star wars, but let me guess, is it volcan? 🤔

[TonyMetal___86]

Funny that i don't remember this episode, ecen though star trek the next generation was my favorite and i have watched the entire series many times 🤔

[msc545]

I think it's probably Earth because there isn't anything else that I can remember.

[Shiprex]

Alderan or Earth maybe Vulcan

[Massageman]

Either Earth or Alderaan.

[RandomGirl42]

Magrathea... oh, wait. Wrong universe. 😳

[docster]

I'll guess Alderan.

[MrChinaski]

Trick question.

[LC75LC71]

It must be in a galaxy far away..

[LiamS95]

I would say earth and vulcan

[LiamJHayden]

Alderaan.

[exitseven]

Is it Earth?

[Cidknee]

Tatooie

[Cidknee]

I seem to have a memory of JT Kirk saying that name. But why? Why damnit¿
