Ah yes, the last post on the first page. My bad.
Because we know it doesn't exist.
No the point is that planet Vulcan was postulated in an attempt to account for perturbations in Mercury's orbit, these were subsequently explained by Einstein's "general relativity".
The hypothetical "Persephone" (I don't know why F D decided to opt for that name as I have only seen that used in fiction) or rather Planet 9 has a rather high probability of existing, according to the modelling.
In the meantime, Vulcan enthusiasts can consider Charon where there is a "Vulcan Planum" which has several other Star Trek names used in it's features.
Personally, I'm waiting for Magrathea to be discovered.
Actually, that was the point of the post, and many of those following the OP. There is a semantic difference: We know it doesn't exist / We don't yet know that it exists. But either way, it's not been discovered or observed.
Some of the sizes are wrong too (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...-for-FDEV’s-commitment-to-scientific-accuracy).
And about the shapes....

That said: there is a planet "Vulcan" within the bubble: orbited by "Leonard Nemoy Station".
Well the OP posted:
"Whaaaat....
Persephone? what the hell is this? Are there any lore justification for it?"
So not exactly the point of the post really.
Anywayup, upgrade done, back to important things...
Where's me HOTAS.....

Well, it's either Jupiter or a semi-mythological reference to the upper culmination point of a planet of significant importance to the Sumerian people, most likely connected to fertility or agriculture. There is no reference to a race of strangers coming from the stars. Well, there are some... but that's a different story...
But it has been observed! Just not directly. Did you need read the posts about the discovery of Neptune? Planet 9 (or Persephone as we appear to have named it in 1000 years time) was discovered in the same fashion. Grab your telescope and join the hunt to be the first one to see it directly.
SJust as an aside, have you wandered into the comments sections on Space.com? That there is a whole new realm of bizarre. I genuinely do not get why people who actively hate and reject science, and think it's all part of the evil plan of the Illuminati liberal social-justice-warrior Hillary-voting globalist new-world-order elites, bother to spend their time reading a science site and commenting on it.
Actually, no; yes, I do. It's because they're People On The Internet, isn't it? [rolleyes]
Regarding Persephone, could it be that people in the year 3302 know more than us 21st century monkeys? And no one's complained that Mars has water all over it yet...
Ah. Monica...
Isn't it an oblate spheroid, and therefore is round, bulgy in the middle AND flat?
The Merovingian's wife. What a body indeed
Ah. Monica...
Earth is round too. Isn't it flat?

If it is found (you'd hope not in Sol though!), approaching it could lead to some interesting gameplay- you did bring the correct Drive with you, right?

Terraformed obviously. I just want to know what happened to its moons...
...and also why FD calls our moon "The Moon" instead of Luna since they call our sun "Sol".
Chocolate salty balls?
