He directly says it.
And I can't not read something someone doesn't say, lol.

I'm referring to this:
To call Iokath a planet is technically incorrect, and an insult to the brilliant design of the artificial world. A massive sphere constructed around--and fully enveloping--an undersized and unremarkable star, Iokath absorbs all of the energy released by its "sun," maximizing solar efficiency.All the orbital bodies in the system--every planet, moon, and asteroid--were demolished and salvaged for core elements to create this technological marvel. The salvage was processed and repurposed to create a self-sustaining ecosphere that could be altered and expanded to meet the ever-changing needs of the builders and their society. The self-contained nature of Iokath allows for complete control and customization of every aspect of the environment--a theoretically perfect world.
With the system's star hidden by the surrounding sphere, Iokath is undetectable from a distance, and its impenetrable exterior defenses make it virtually unassailable. Combined with the technological superiority of the builders, it was impervious to any outside threat... but Iokath couldn't protect itself from enemies within.

Ok great, it's fine...moving on. In the weird grand scheme of it all, it doesn't really matter. BW's just writing *** at this point, not taking into account timeframe where it's illogical for something like that to actually be there. Which makes sense, since Legends got the ax, so they can just write whatever.

Not the dang point, the point is it's there yes....and for some reason over the course of thousands and thousands of years after SWTOR, no one and I do mean no one has ever discovered it, no records about it shown...nothing at all...which I'm pretty sure records of it would be kept.
Nothing indication that there's a place in the galaxy where there's a place surrounded a star due to its technology and is drawing energy from the star.
This would be a pretty big discovery that wouldn't just get lost because...

Or having records...because the Alliance seemed to know where it was when they got back to their base and was wanting to send scout ships and the like to investigate it further. So records of location along with whatever else, would be recorded.

Ya but nothing of this magnitude like that has ever been lost. I really doubt such a huge discovery would just go missing, plus even then were suppose to believe that from TOR all the way up to the NJO era and beyond, that this thing wasn't re-discovered again with all the exploration? Ya sorry but I can't buy that crap.
Yet she clearly didn't do that since the Alliance was able to go back there, having the coordinates and everything else.
But anyway we're trailing off here, it's a nice thing sure but I dunno why you'd say I go insane about it. I don't really go and blow stuff out of proportion and say LOOK AT THIS! LOOK AT THIS! Like a few users do..

I'm pretty sure at some point a ship would have traveled far enough to see it. It doesn't appear on long-range sensors, alright fine, but that doesn't exclude it from being discovered entirely, it just makes it harder.
Now if you're meaning the thing moved, then sure yeah, I could buy that. But if it's in a fixed location....that I'm not sure.
