New House?

[Kuraine]

I can't see how a new House is going to arrive.. the only humans that left Sol were the 5 sleeper ships we all know and love, the probably-died-in-transit Atticus Rockford and a handful of Coalition intelligence agents board the Hispania.

I personally do not like the extended version of the Freelancer intro. I mean, the only survivor in the entire of the Sol system after the sun gets blown up is an Alliance member? And a General at that. Not to mention the Nomads having sun-destroying weapons. Clearly the original developers didn't like it in the end either, since it was cut. Nothing at all, not even Pluto, would survive Sol going supernova.

Either way, assuming the events of the extended Freelancer cutscene never happened is much better and also leaves plenty more avenues open (such as the coalition, as people have said). Who knows, the French/new house/whatever could have retreated into the Kuiper Belt or the Oort cloud at the edges of Sol system to harvest resources and build a sleeper ship in secret and away from prying eyes.
