Planetary Info

Saggina is the farthest-reported system in the Rimward Sector of the Deep Periphery.[1] The system is about 282 light-years from Interstellar Expeditions Base #22, and 2,093 light-years rimward from Terra.

Canonicity

Saggina differs from other systems introduced in Interstellar Players 3: Interstellar Expeditions in that it was not actually "revealed" in the book, but was included: the system is hidden under the title bar of the map and can only be detected by the user by selecting large swaths of text on the PDF's page. This will highlight the system name as marked text in the document and reveal it over the otherwise superimposed title bar.

Assistant Line Developer Ray "Adrian Gideon" Arrastia clarified in the official rulings section of the BattleTech Forum ("Ask the Lead Developers section") that being hidden behind graphics amounts to not "being technically published" in the sense that the system "doesn't exist unless confirmed otherwise".

While therefore expressly not canonized in Interstellar Players 3: Interstellar Expeditions, the Saggina system arguably does technically meet the criteria for apocrypha. It was not confirmed as canonical through another publication yet.
