Technically, FS2, FS + Silent threat are the two 'fully' canonical sources, with FS2 overiding FS + ST. This means the FS2 nodemap is the right one.
The FS reference bible is 'official' which means it can't be argued with, except where it conflicts with canon.
ALL,
ALL user-made campaigns and backgrounds, unless explicitely stated otherwise by

, are nothing more than fan expansions, which rank lowest and are not part of the true FS timeline.
Oh, and this? (and a few others but I'll leave those to other people)
2370: Last shivan cruiser in GTVA space neutralised by the GTD Carthage in Vega.
Nuh-uh, we have no info about post-Capella activities of the GTVA, except that which Petrarch mentions.
