Fictional: Star Trek:
Sirius System

Summary:Sirius is a major cultural and administrative center of the United Federation of Planets.
Description:Version 4.0 (06/26/2011): Fixed textures, new system layout, now more cross platform friendly.

Sirius III is a major cultural and administrative center of the United Federation of Planets. In 2364, the planet was a member of the Federation Security Council; its ambassador to the Federation Council was James Kara. Thousands of years ago, Sirius III was home to an advanced civilization who called their world Kericindal. These people never left their planet and eventually died out under unknown circumstances. Traces of the civilization were not immediately evident when humans colonized Sirius III, but became known after a series of archaeological excavations. Sirius III was the fourth colony founded by humans sometime in the 22nd century.

Sirius IX is the ninth planet in the Sirius system. In 2269, the planetary government of Sirius IX charged Harry Mudd with fraud and swindling. (TAS: "Mudd's Passion")

I'm sure fungun is just following the information that is listed by Star Trek for this system. I'm sure the Trek writers really didn't know too much about the science of this binary system. It is pretty to look at.

Physically IMPOSSIBLE !
the white dwarf goes between Sirius III
and the couple Sirius IV-V (less 2 AU).
None planet's orbit is stable so near of binary star.

After reading Nemeton's comments, I went searching for the answer. See the Celestia forum here - http://www.shatters.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=16009

All discovered planets since 1995 had orbits on the equatorial solar plane (or few degrees) but not 90°.
http://voparis-exoplanet.obspm.fr and choice your language.
At no time, they are perpendicular even in binary system (physical laws), even in Sci-Fi.
Far, very far in the universe, H2 + 02 = water, it's an another law...

Ah, but it is in line with Sirius' rotation. Are you saying the planets show go around the star's north-south poles? As for the way the system is, I just make 'em the way Star Trek says they are.
You see how physically possible it would be to cram 9 planets and 2 asteroids belts around Sirius A and not run into complications from Sirius B.

Scince when is scifi "physically" possible? You just out to bash everything? Lightin' up, have some fun with it.

Beautiful system but as usual physically impossible, because the planetes are perpendicular at stars trajectory.
More there are 2 planets which are disrupted because the white dwarf is too near (look at the joined screenshot).
