The extended intro was cut due to it showing off too much of the Nomads.

The Oort cloud would not stop a planet moving at 23500km/s.
The Oort cloud itself would also most probably be flung off into space.
It's held where it is by the sun's mass.
If that mass is reduced, its orbit will start to deteriorate.
Saying nothing of the rather massive explosion causing Jupiter to travel at 23500km/s, when the escape velocity is about 19km/s.

There is nothing left. If the sun is left, there's nothing around it anymore.
All of it would have been literally blown away or drifted off.
Oort stuff included.

Jupiter would still be putzing around unless it violently encountered another body.

What? showing off too much? How do you know that? as far as I know, it was cut because it did not make sense with the game, nomads awakened a bit before the game.

and I say again, Freelancer doesn't exactly use realistic physics or scales, jupiter would be of 50 KM diameter, even less go at 23500 KM/S when a trade lane goes at more or less 3000 M/S (I think) and it's a "superluminal" speed.

And remember that sun explosions leave nebulas, like the crab nebula, it won't simply fade away.

It shows off too much because it shows the enemy (the Nomads) before you even start playing the game. The realization that Sirius was under attack by an alien race is supposed to be a shocking discovery and indeed it was when you realize Governor Tekagi was possessed by a Nomad.

Carlos Rivera: Corsair Brotherhood Pirate - Retired, shifted to Tripoli Shipyard's Research and Development engineering teams
Anthony Cameron: Guild Core Bounty Hunter - Killed in Action, committed suicide after being trapped in Omicron Minor following its destruction
Juan Ruiz: Outcast Ghost of Razgriz Pirate - Killed in Action, killed by the Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army during Bretonian piracy raid
Michael Winchester: Liberty Security Force Agent - Missing in Action, likely killed during Rheinland espionage mission or trapped in Rheinland Space
Eric McCormick: Order Pilot - Retired, shifted to planetside training of new recruits

Liberty and Nomad Backstory, Very interesting - read it!

Now that makes more sense, but yet, nomads were in a popsicle, which would leave a plothole. It was more likely scrapped as it wouldn't make sense.

I'm not sure how we would get there. We did take Sleeper ships to get to Sirius after all. Be kind of silly to use Sleeper ships if there was a jump hole to the sector wouldn't it?

The system doesn't exist either, it got exploded as already stated. Meaning Sirian humans could fly right by where it was and not know it because it looks very much like a ton of other space.

all solars explosions leave a remnant, be it debris or a nebula or a solar remnant (white dwarves or wathever), so there should be something to say there was a system.

There are thousands if not millions of dead systems exactly like you described. Sirian humans have never been to Sol. They weren't there after its destruction. Like I said, they could fly right through the system and not know it was actually Sol.

I told you this already...Nomads in Sirius do not equal Nomads in Sol. This is the best thing the community could come up with as the other developers' documents didn't leave us with further information. The intro could've been scrapped because it didn't make sense, but since it's canon in our universe, we need to explain it somehow and this is what we came up with.
