How to fix the problem where activity is not spread evenly across Sirius

[Lythrilux]

In OFL chat we were talking about how Gallia is devoid of activity and that's partially due to it's poor positioning in relation to the rest of the houses and regions. Right now you have Liberty at the center, the other houses around it, and Gallia in the far corner desperately trying to be relevant although it's a bit futile. So Alex ( @Zephyranthes ) came up with an idea for a Pentagon layout for the houses, instead of the way things currently are. The idea inspired me to create a visual concept (this is more or less what the navmap would sort of look like, if you imagine each region as a single entity rather than a clump of systems). I'm not sure which one would be better though in regards to the Omicrons:

Houses connect to Omicrons (pre-existing Edge Worlds Omega and Taus are re-classified as Border Worlds):

Both houses and Border Worlds connect to Omicrons (allows for pre-existing Omega and Tau Edge Worlds to remain Edge Worlds):

Only Border Worlds connect to the Omicrons (allows for pre-existing Omega and Tau Edge Worlds to remain Edge Worlds):

The white double ended arrows represent links between each region created via border systems (like Sigma-13, Tau-31 and Tau-29, Omega-3 and Omega-7 etc.). So as you can see the middle of the sector would basically become wild lawless space. The houses passively or aggressively compete for resources inside that area of space. You can also see that every house is more or less connected to each other, meaning ships can flow more easily in and out of each house. To get to those houses you have to go through the lawless border worlds I mentioned earlier. Pirate activity would be rife in these regions, so watch out. The Omicrons are literally Edge Worlds here still, as they exist on the fringe of the colonies. They'd all connected to create a sort of circle around the Houses though, to stop them being sectioned off like Gallia is right now.

Pros:
• Activity can be spread more evenly across all regions
• Regions become better connected, means more interactions with multiple players, groups and factions
• Gallia has a good chance of being revived here, hypothetically at least
• Border Worlds truly become lawless, and a melting pot for various groups and factions competeing over resources and territory
• Easier access from the Omicrons to the houses and vice versa. Edge Worlds factions can raid Houses more easily (hopefully).

Cons:
• Economy would have to undergo a massive revision
• Some lore would have to be retconned, including vanilla lore potentially (i.e Sleeper Ship Liberty aiming for the most resource rich region and landing neatly in the center of Sirius)
• This would probably be a lot of work for system devs. Some systems might have to be deleted, or new systems might even need to be added to make the connections work.

It's likely that this suggestion wouldn't get implemented because of the cons, but it's a fun concept to draw up nonetheless. What do you think?
