The reference to Lane Hackers in Vespucci is a simple mistake. In point of fact, there will be no Lane Hacker Guard system anywhere after the Hackers leave Vespucci. Though Zelot proofread the text before it was posted publicly, he very well may have been completely unaware of the following developments. Igiss merely forgot about them, which is easily understandable given the huge amount of time that has lapsed during this development cycle.
Rather than desiring an exclusive system for ourselves, we (meaning players, not Lane Hacker characters) have been given the opportunity to guide future development of a relatively undeveloped public system on the outskirts of Liberty space, to which we will bring an ongoing storyline/mystery as a subplot to the main Discovery storyline, commercial development directly benefiting 2 of Liberty's major corporations (bases, commodities, & trade), and Sirius' only Hacker Guard outpost (which will be quite modest). Having said all that, the credit goes to Hribek for the coding and story development as well as the guiding vision for this sub-project, while together we worked on infocards & rumors, and I mismanaged the trade routes.
