This storyline is expected but it makes a big mess also. Now we have many factions fleeing to many more new systems. Poor Council, poor Gaians, poor Bretany- she suffered too much, poor Outcasts (no Im loling, vivan i Corsari) and maybe poor Colonials.
Nice story and a big mess. What about Hispania? Will Grand Carina become new Leeds?
Sorry if this is Necromancy.
