If I remember right, the jumpdrives from Starlancer were "slow" enough to make it a great deal for warships to cross Solar System in matter of long days, if not weeks. It is pretty likely that the Sleeper Ships used the exact same tech to arrive into Sirius Systems so it cannot really be that far.
Also, it is worth to mention, if believe the FL Nomad Legacy being in 80% reproduction of Freelancer Alpha, there was actual Sirius, meaning the initial idea of Sirius Sector wasn't that far from Sol.
Sirius in real life is only 8.6 light years away. Given that in Discovery we can jump drive from star to star, it might stand reasonable that Sol is not outside of the Sirius sector, but rather, rather close inside of it. After all if its only 8.6 light years, that means nomads don't got far to travel from the Dyson sphere to Sol, and that also means they didn't jump that far inside of the Sirius sector either. All it all, humanity might of never even left the Sirius Sector from the very beginning for all we know
That is the Sirius star, not the Sirius sector. The sector was the name given to the giant cluster of stars where FL takes place.
Starlancer *ends* as it were in 2200 where the colony ships fled to Sirius. AS stands for after settlement and begins when Liberty arrives in New York. There is no indication of how long this took from what I've researched so any measure of time could be guessed at.
