Your art, you decide what you want to make. You don’t need any justification beyond, “it’s what I want to create.” Your personal art also forms its own canon, dictated entirely by your choices. If you want to link more than one piece of art you create as a continuity, you dictate what is canon to that continuity. For whatever reason you want.
None of that makes for a particularly interesting conversation though. You say the ship doesn’t work for your idea. That’s something to have a conversation about. Why doesn’t it work for your idea?
All this other focus in the thread so far about general canon/good or badness is irrelevant. Context matters.
