So that’s how they handled the fact that there is only one Draco constellation.

Draitron Meteornis=QUA
LIGHT, Machine/Ritual/Effect, Lv 12, ATK/DEF 4000
You can Ritual Summon this card with “Meteornis Draitron”. You can only use each of the 2nd and 3rd effects of this card’s name once per turn.
(1) Your opponent cannot target this card with Spell/Trap effects.
(2) During your Main Phase, if this card was Ritual Summoned using monster whose total Levels equal 2 or less: You can destroy all Spells and Traps your opponent controls.
(3) If this Ritual Summoned card is destroyed: You can Special Summon any number of “Draitron” monsters from your GY whose total ATK exactly equal 4000, except “Draitron Meteornis=QUA”.

Note from the resident space nerd: This card is likely a reference to the Quadrantids, a January meteor shower which appears to originate from a point very close to the Draco constellation. Incidentally, the Quadrantids themselves are named for a obsolete constellation, the Quadrans Muralis, which would have occupied the border between Draco and Boötes had it not been discarded when the 88 modern constellations were chosen in 1922.
