' Wrote:Liberty for trade opportunities, i.e center of sirius
Bretonia for mineral resources
Kusari for food resources
Rheinland, chose resources for the necessity.
Liberty got the cluster core because they arrived first - they picked the core for its planets, not potential trade.
Kusari picked the north for the large gas deposits there, that they believed (correctly) would contain high yield fuel.
Rheinland picked the south for the high density of heavy minerals and resources for construction purposes.
Bretonia didn't pick their location. They were damaged during the escape (you see the Bretonia getting shot up during the intro) and thus arrived late. This relegated them to the planet, trade and mineral deprived area west of the Barrier Nebula.
That said, the fact that Gallia can exist just north of Bretonia with more resources than anywhere in Sirius is ridiculous.
