Major and Androzani Minor are a pair of planets that form the setting of the serial "The Caves of Androzani". Androzani Minor features a network of caves, inhabited by spectrox-producing giant bats. When the planet moved closer to Androzani Major, mud burst from Androzani Minor's core. The planets are located in the Sirius system.
