New House?

[Klaw117]

This has come up before, but no one seemed to really address it...

The French House was isolated from the rest of Sirius for about 800 years, with, as far as we know, no knowledge about the Daam K'Vosh artifacts or the Nomads. Since our present day technology is derived from these artifacts, wouldn't the French House be technologically behind by about 100-200 years? I don't think they could have created their own type of jump gates or trade lanes because Alien Artifacts are only found in Omicron Gamma, Theta, Major (that brown planet near the Dyson Sphere entrance where Rheinland first got possessed) and Planet Manhattan (by Valhalla or present day Ageria Technologies). These places are nowhere near the Tau Systems, so would that mean we would have to travel through the French House in cruise speed and jump holes only?

Btw, I think we should name the new house Francia, the Latin name for France which meant "land of the Franks." Since the Franks occupied France and Germany during the reign of Charlemagne, I think this seems appropriate. We could also call it Gaul (Latin: Gallia; French: Gaule), which is what the Franks originally called France and Germany. That's 4 choices I listed. Anyone think we should use them?
