Sol Sector

[Vredes]

your assumption of distances is logical, when looking at the map, but false. Gallia is outside of the general Sirius cluster. The map distance representation is only as it is because the start chart system is limited to that square. In reality, Gallia would be a lot farther.

You have a point. Gallia could be even closer to Sol.

Additionally, nobody even knows how long and how far did the colony ships actually travel. Sirius is just called sirius because that is where they were headed in the first place. In reality it can be something completely different, a lot farther away from Sol.

And what if the Coalition have stayed in Sol building bases in the asteroid fields (remains of the planets) and on Pluto?

Mabye they have even expanded to neighbour systems.
Or even some of their own sleeper ships were launched to different sectors like Babylon?
(those last two were bad thoughts, we dont need that much expansions)

ps: the current colonies ran away from that sector for a reason. I don't think the general populace would want to come back.
