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.
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

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.

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

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

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.
