Beyond the Colonies

Not much is known about what lies outside the Colonies. No stellar bodies have been surveyed during the flight of the Sleeper Ships; the two sleeper ships launched before the war did not return much useful information either - in fact, one of them, the Mayflower, did not return at all, while the other one arrived in Sirius at the dawn of the 9th Century only to bring news of the demise of their own home by a natural disaster.

The fate of the Sol system itself was largely unknown and it's people where presumed to be under Coalition control until the late 8th century, when edge world astronomers discovered Sol's name-giving G2V-class star turning into a bright flash of light. While it is generally agreed upon that this event has turned humanity's cradle into a barren wasteland, the reasons for this are currently unknown. However, there was one report of a Nomad Super Weapon, but those theories have been denied by the house governments.

Why did you guys kill off our solar system??? Sure its coalition territory but that don't mean it deserve to get blown up, rite?

Why not?

It stops people from wanting to return, if there were some really serious Zoners. Although there was the Neo-Terran Front, looking to do the whole sleeper ship a second (technically third if you include the Gemini and Orion) time.

And here I was thinking this was going to be a thread about Crayter

surely coalition would've developed more advanced technologies while the alliance ships were sleeping, and upon realising there were alien things about to destroy sol, they would'a launched sleeper ships of their own into the general direction the alliance were heading, and since they had better technology when leaving sol. upon arriving they could be coordinated by local coalition and expand themselves into nearby existing systems, and then there would be a final showdown between gallia, sirius, and coalition...? Also coalition technology has to be more advanced or of an entirely different type because they had time to develop technologies when the alliance were sleeping in their sleeper ships, and were able to track the alliance's location aome time after the sleeper ships arrived at sirius.

Some have suggested that would be a more suitable story than the French doing so, but it's not so relevant here.

If you haven't already, check out the extended intro to Freelancer. It was only a few days/weeks between the Sleeper ship launch around Jupiter to the last stand at Pluto and the destruction of Sol. The Coalition was too busy wiping the floor with the remnants of the Alliance to develop any sleeper ships and follow them.
