We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.
This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Johnny Rico — The entry states Dizzy Flores is killed in action during a raid on a Bug planet, but in the novel she is killed during the raid on Klendathu, not a generic Bug planet, and the circumstances involve a Bug attack on the transport, not a ground raid.
The Roughnecks — In the 1997 film, the unit is not called 'The Roughnecks'; Rico's squad is designated as 'Mobile Infantry' and is never referred to by that name in the film.
The Roughnecks — The claim that 'First Appearance=Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles (1999 animated series)' is incorrect because the unit first appeared in the 1997 film Starship Troopers, though not under that name; the specific name 'Roughnecks' first appeared in the
Bug Wars — The entry states the Terran Federation was formed after the destruction of Buenos Aires, but in the film the Federation already existed before the attack.
Planet Klendathu — The entry states that the Skinnies switch to an alliance with humans near the end of the novel, not midway. In Heinlein's novel, the Skinnies switch sides midway through the war, not near the end.
Planet Klendathu — The entry claims that workers are used as 'living bombs' in the novel. This concept originates from the 1997 film, not from Heinlein's book.
Battle of the Bug Queen — The claim that Brain Bugs can mimic human speech patterns when interrogated, as depicted in the 1997 film, is not part of the established canon of the original 1959 novel or the 1997 film's actual dialogue. In the film, the captured Brain Bug does not say 'It'
Battle of the Bug Queen — The claim that Mobile Infantry troopers often wear powered armor with integrated plasma weaponry during these deep strikes is not accurate for the 1997 film's canon. In the film, troopers wear standard combat armor (not powered armor) and use standard rifles,
Mendel — In the 1997 film, the attack on Buenos Aires occurs before the failed human invasion of Klendathu, not after it. The film shows the Buenos Aires attack as the catalyst for the invasion of Klendathu, not a retaliatory strike.
Mendel — In the novel, Buenos Aires is not the site of the first major Arachnid attack; the first attack in the novel is on the planet Klendathu, and Buenos Aires is attacked later as part of the war, not as the first strike.
Klendathu Orbit — The entry states 'the Bugs adapted by launching attacks from surface tunnels and hives, not from deep underground.' In the novel, the Bugs are explicitly described as launching attacks from deep underground tunnels, not merely surface hives.
Klendathu Orbit — The entry states 'The Bugs are implied to be technologically advanced, possessing spaceships.' In the novel, the Bugs do not possess spaceships; they travel through space via biological means (e.g., spore pods or being launched as projectiles) and do not build
