The Sirius Star System

[Jose_de_Tolosa]

I see only one thing here: Gallia is located near the Taus.
Hispanian Sleeper ship came to Crete first, then Malta.
Perhaps you (Igiss) have misthought the colours and it should be like
Blue Gallia,
Purple Nomads?

The purple and blue dots already are located near the Taus and the Nomad Worlds respectively.

Liberty and Nomad Backstory, Very interesting - read it!

I presume that sleeper ships had some sort of warp drives, if they didn't have FTL, the journey would take too much time.

Not neccesarily.

Why? Relativity.

For the person that is travelling inside the spaceship, there is no speed limit from his point of view. You can travel from A to B in ANY amount of time. The only limitations are how fast your engines are and if you can survive the acceleration they provide. Being frozen / hibernated will allow the acceleration to be much higher than normal. And even if you're not hibernated, 10 m/s^2 is enough to get you out of the galaxy before you die of old age.

Yes, both in A and B, lot of time will pass, but the space traveller does not have to care.

You can reach the actual Sirius star system from Sol in a standard year or less, even though it is around 8 LY from here. The time on the spaceship is not the same as the time on on Sirius or Sol if they are moving relative to each other.

No, Igiss got it right...

I still think they travelled at sublight. The ships were visible the entire time and did not disappear.

In fact they did.

You can reach the actual Sirius star system from Sol in a standard year or less, even though it is around 8 LY from here. The time on the spaceship is not the same as the time on on Sirius or Sol if they are moving relative to each other.

We've decided already that Sirius is a direction. Not actual location.

For the person that is travelling inside the spaceship, there is no speed limit from his point of view.

For a person frozen in a cryogenic camera, time dilation is a matter of great importance of course. Or... is it really?

Time is a matter of importance for the ships themselves, their drives, etc. Humans are frozen anyway. They could live there... well, as long as cameras are functional. And the period of their safe functionality is not really endless.
