Well, if it's a novel, don't forget the standard rule of thumb on
their authority.  Remember also that some of the "canon" tools have
mistakes as well. I don't have them *all*, but none of the ones I
do have (IOW, the authoritative ones) make any mention of
disassembly of the Galaxy that I can recall.
And of course I'm not the mod, at least not here.

Uh, wanna bet? };)  They make make overall thumbs up/down on the
idea, but they don't check for detail authenticity, trust me.
If they did, the W10 reference in Vendetta (I think it was; don't
"do" the novels, so we'll have to rely on someone else to verify
if it's that one) would never have made it past.
Regardless of what some may think, Paramount does *not* screen the
novels with a fine-toothed comb for continuity.  That's how the
standard rule came to be that novels are *never* canon unless/until
what they say is backed up by actual on-screen or other true
authority sources. ;)
