What new House would you like to see added?

[Emet-Selch]

You know that this not happened? That means that every sirius faction must stand against the Sol Coalition.
the original vanilla intro says: We will never forget
You can say: sirius will take revenge on sol coalition.

Basically, there is no Alliance anymore, and all the Houses are unable to resolve even minor issues without deploying an armada first. Rheinland has neglected Gallic invasion completely, and, if it wasn't devs pulling pretty much everyone into Gallic War, there are certain groups who'd rather give totally no damn. If Sol Coalition was to invade Sirius, the most oppressive regimes (all five Houses, to be precise) would seek their own benefits in negotiations rather than full-scale wars. Bretonia, Rheinland and Gallia are barely able to fight back rebels and terrorists, and if we imagine an invasion of Sol Coalition, it wouldn't be a cakewalk.

That said, we all know that there's no better trope than a trope everyone is already sick of, and we've had it with introduction of Nomads and Gallia already. If the scenario devs are to throw Sol Coalition in the same form as it was back in Starlancer, it would be this. Would be a pretty unfunny and totally not predictable turn of events.

I'd agree with @BobMacaroni that Sol Coalition can still be injected in the plot via its successor states, because the universe of Freelancer is a Crapsack World, and there are plenty of ways to make that unique and, uh, less obvious at least.

My personal pick for the thread's original topic would be Italy, because it's the most logical choice after we've had Gallia, and there could actually be the seventh Sleeper Ship that never made it there in time. Because if she'd never made it there at all, there could be no plot built around it. And there's pretty much ways of introducing House Italy without breaking the overall narrative and stuff.
