Title: Where's Moon?

Ok, where is Unzervalt Moon?
It appear in Intro scene, but not in gameplay when you visit Vela star system.
So, what's going on?

Congratulations, you discovered some kind of "plot hole".

Oviously the intro designers put little too much effort in it and invented a moon for Unzervalt  ;D

There, plothole gone.

Does one Ur-Quan ship (or even a dozen) have enough
fire power to destory a moon? The Commander says
the Ur-Quan blasted the surface of the Earth, destroying
older buildings and such. The Earth itself seems to
be fully intact.

These are not the moons you are looking for.  *waves hands, does something nigh-imperceptible on his umbrella handle*

I suggest the following handwave: Only major moons show up on the planet view.  You will note that Phobos and Diemos don't show up either, nor does Chiron.

Brilliant. Brill-yunt. I've had people nit-picking the game before, but never on this sort of thing. This is the sort of nit-picking you can't just say "It's a gameplay choice." (see crew vs hit points.)
