Just a wild and wacky fact about sedna.
If sedna were in starcontrol, Fwiffo would reside to it, would he not? Well turns out that an eluder could not keep a very solid grip on a space entity with such a small gravaty, and he would undoubtable have to stay on pluto.

Yes u can but it will still exist in other places ( wherever u mined it to ) for matter cannot be destroyed only transformed. The same goes for energy
In fact, you can convert matter into energy.
But the law of conservation of matter/energy is a physical law, meaning that it is a law deduced (or rather induced) from observations of physics. It is not impossible that there is an underlying law which in fact would allow for matter/energy to be destroyed. Considering that SC2 is science-fiction, you could suppose that in the SC2 universe someone has found a way to do just that.
Maybe the Ur-Quan wanted to demonstrate a new weapon so powerful that Earth would not hesitate to surrender unconditionally, but in a "harmless" way. (In fact, it has been argued that the USA should have done exactly this in WW2 instead of throwing those nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.). If the Ur-Quan had in fact done this, I would have expected commander Hayes or the game manual to mention this though.
A more plausible explanation (to me) would be that the disappearance of Sedna is the result of a failed experiment of the humans themselves (possibly before the war). Sensibly, they would have executed such a dangerous experiment on a planet far away.
(Note that as I said before, I consider the SC2 solar system merely as a simplified representation of reality, and therefore I don't think any explanation is necessary.)
EDIT: Charon wasn't the ferriman of the river stix? Anyway way not Chronos the god of time and to correct u the names of the planets are related to Greek mythology but however thry are the roman names. As Jupiter is the King of the gods (largest planet aka Zeus).Plant X still sounds good
You have a point in noting that the planets are named after Roman names. In fact the aforementioned Janus does not have a Greek equivalent. I must have been momentarilly confused by the Greek name "Charon" ("-on" is a typical Greek ending for a noun), which the Romans adopted unaltered.
Moons are usually named after an immortal (not necessarilly a god) that has some association with the God after which the planet it orbits is named. As such, Charon, named after the ferryman of the underworld river Acheron ([1]), is associated with Pluto (Hades in Greek), the god ruling the underworld (which is also named Hades in Greek).
I don't know why you bring up Chronos. He already has a planet. His Roman name is Saturnus.
And "If you burn up something it becomes ash and sulfur" is just plain wrong.
Meep-Eep
[1] Regardless of what many people think, Charon ferries people over the river Acheron, not the Styx (and note the spelling).

Maybe they ran out of Roman mytholgical names, what with the constellations, stars, planets, etc. Of course, I would think the next logical would be greek or maybe norse; some dead religion (aren't inuit deities still worshiped?).

It is cloaked, and is currently an Arilou monitoring station.

Indeed, and Sedna was Juffo-Wupporized by the Mycon, but as the Deep Child had a little mistake in it (why should it go for Sedna anyways?), instead of making it a hot lava world, it made the planet go mad, and warped it into Hyperspace. Last thing we knew was that it collapsed with a planet at Rigel....
Nearly the same goes for Charon. But it was stolen by the Ilwarth. Dogar and Kazon told them to tug it to their home planet, as a throphy for Dogar and Kazon.
Some Jupiters and Saturns moons were combined together to make the Ultra Mooney Battle Platform, which too bad wasn't able to go into Hyperspace, so the Hunams let it go self destruct near some Dreadies.. Har Har Har...
Ofcourse, this all was a joke. Conclusion: enslave this thread. Why? Sc2/UQM is a game, not a reality. Do you REALLY think that funny blobbies exist? well? huh? Do you REALLY think that hunams can be enslaved by.. CATTERPILLARS? HUh? well?? HUH??? Do you really think the Precursors exist? You do? UGH! I'm going to be sick...

So WHY hasen't it been added to the game yet? 
I mean if your even thinking of adding Sedna or there being a reason it isen't there... wheres Charon?!? I mean it's larger than Sedna isen't it?
