Yup, that would explain it. It's ok though - I like Murdoch! It should come with it's own special station: Human Fleet Command Station - the badly damaged hq of one of the factions from the human civil war. Its impressive defenses are on par with that a Superfortress (albiet more from local fleet buffs than direct damage, which is still pretty impressive), and the AI is extremely wary of letting it fall back into human hands, as it is both a potent weapon and a major rallying point for humanity!
Please submit this idea in mantis!

Murdoch is like the hardest planet to defend in my game! :)

Hmmmm... I knew the reference to Wolf 359 right away, but Murdoch escapes me.

Best I knew was either the ebil villain of MacGuyver  -- Murdoc,  or Murdock of the A-Team (Yes this dates me).

No clue what it references, but it's in the alt text (usually) and has a habit of showing up in interesting locations. No game is really complete without it ;)

tbh i think Murdoch is more of an Ai war reference in itself than any outside reference - that every game has a murdoch tends to suggest that the system will be someplace interesting in the majority of them..
