Sirius in Freelancer =/= Region at Sirius A and B

The Sirius Sector is not the immediate sector around the Sirius Star (albeit it includes it), but the sector of the sky seen from the Earth when you look at the Sirius Star, if the star is in the middle of your view field. Thus, the Solar System can also be part of the Sirius Sector, but doesn't have to. Likewise, the Sirius Star isn't necessarily part of the game map -- it could be a number of light years behind it, or in front of it.

The Sirius star is apart of the constellation Canis Major. Just saying.

Agreed with Laz here. Sirius in the game is not actually apart of any real life system (I had to look it up on the main Freelancer forums just now) and a majority of its map is based off of real life nebulas and others swen together.
Regardless of how you look at it, The Sirius sector could be on the other end of the galaxy from Sol or just one light year away and no one would know because, as said, the Sirius Sector is a fictional location, just as most locations in Chris Roberts games are (Save Star Commander which was Sol)
Even Canis Major has barely under 15 stars and is spread out wide, the nearest cluster being Canis Majoris Star Cluster which, in of itself, Sirius is not even apart of to begin with. That said, the original star map is just a hashed together system of existing nebulas (At least thats what they've said on the forums by looking it over)
At the end, we don't know where the Sirius sector really is, anyone could put it anywhere in the galaxy, the wiki here says its in the Orions Belt in this galaxy, Crossfire says its near the Canis Majoris star cluster, no one truly knows where Chris based this games location from

This was actually explained in detail in many other threads. The sleeper ships flew in the DIRECTION of the Sirius system, but not to it. They moved to a sector they called Sirius because of the direction. Igiss made a detailed post about it some years ago, you might find it using the search engine. They argued about which system would be like the real life Sirius - the closest to that system would be Tau-37 because of the suns. However it is not a Sirius system but an entire sector.

To be honest I would be more intrigued to expand stuff Beyond Sirius and consider maybe the "Diversity" of possible life? This sounds like "We want new aliens" but I'd love to have something more extended details regarding whats beyond Sirius. I had an idea to elaborate more of the Nomad real presumable expansion but I kinda abandoned the thought.

But the Sol is desroyed.

I need to flesh out the Nauru precursors at some point...

That's an example of what I was talking about.
