As like, a "pie in the sky" kind of thing, right?

100% the Sol Coalition - or whatever intervening governments came about in the 800 years since they were last in-view. Using the universe map to transition from "Sirius Sector" to "Sol Sector" or something has been a juvenile fantasy of mine since seeing the map zoom out that far.

Also because it'd be really funny to see homeworlders view the Sirius Coalition as backwards provincials living in a cultural stasis that was left behind in Sol (just like the Houses).

Italy and/or the actual Coalition in the Solar system and, by now, the entire stellar neighbourhood.

A Rennfaire House would be LOVELY fun!

Sol Coalition would be really sick too, though. Maybe they finally decided to send a fleet of Sleeper and Military Ships towards Sirius for whatever reason.

Another Intelligent Alien Species House that isn't inherently, outright hostile would be really neat. Some kind of loosely united empire, but not without its own problems. (Plz gib space lizards or birds, or space orcs, or shoot something wild and out there, like rock people or even Daam K'Vosh machines that developed sentience or something?)

+1

Seeing what the Coalition got up to in the 800 years since the Alliance left would be awesome.

The contrast between how the Alliance developed compared to the Coalition would make for an entirely alien and unique civilization - what they would use for interspace travel without discovering Valhalla One, what resistance groups or factions might have split off during those 800 years, or how politics developed between the nations of the Coalition once their enemies all left.

And being able to go to systems in an entirely new sector would be incredible as well.

While Discovery relies on the trailer's depiction of Sol being destroyed, if it had been the other way around, it would have been far more dramatic and far more justified than Gallia. It would have been a true all-out war between the Houses of the former Alliance and those who once expelled them from their home system.

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.
But instead of adding new houses i would focus on othe problems as dev.
server has bigger problems atm instead of lacking houses......

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.

For me, I'd like to see the Freelancers be separated into their individual edge world/border world houses.
While they're still generally Freelancers and have a loose coalition in theory, they also have regional allegiances could bring them into conflict.
Giving FLsigma, FLomega, FLtau, etc each some individual flavor, or leaving room for the to be RP'ed as such to expand Disco-wide RP possibilities.
Although they alway could have been and currently CAN be RP'ed as such, giving them some ID and friend/foe differentials would foster a more conducive environment.
