What if Hispania hadn't been sabotaged?
This scenario would be pretty interesting, because it would render both vanillia and Disco a completely politically different than we know today, with what today is Corsairs and Outcasts - united. Would they be in Edge Worlds or settle somewhere else? What would be the politics with other houses?
What if Liberty came to Sirius Sector... last?
This scenario would swap Bretonian and Liberty arrivals - or any given order of five arrivals, which could also connect with Hispania scenario. This also may include the American Sleeper Ship sabotaged or damaged during Sol War.
What if Kusari never deposed Shogun Hideyoshi?
This scenario mainly applies to the strangely isolated Kusari as an entity very mistrustful to the foreigners (even more than Samura-backed government was) and on how relations would be shaped with openly xenophobic nation that do not wish anyone to assimiliate with Kusari.
What if Nomads would never woke up?
This scenario is partially taken from my (failed) inRP attempt as a ship that came from the way alternative reality of the Sirius Sector, in which Alliance gained the upper hand and set course to settle in the Sector (with Sol Incident never happening) - I made out the alternative houses using Daam K'vosh tech more openly.
What if Texas Incident never happened?
This scenario is an alternative version of the events that lead into creation of new gate inside Texas, being unlikely like in the canon version of the events in which Planet Houston was rendered almost barren and with half of the system being ripped apart.
What if Solar System hasn't been destroyed?
In this scenario, Solar System hasn't been destroyed by the Nomads and Four Houses are establishing the contact with whoever is now in control of Solar System and (perhaps) some neighbouring systems.

19 A.S. - Coalition saboteurs, who were never onboard the Hispania, would not blow up it's engines. The Hispania would land on Crete, giving birth to the Hispanic Triumvirate [Assuming that there are three major nations in the non-alternate Hispanic entities - Spanish (mostly Corsairs, but there are several Spanish originated people withing the Maltese society) , Italian (According to RP done by most of OC players and to names of Stations and planets, most of Outcasts are former Italians) and Greek (Not common, but there is a lot of bases and other objects having Greek names. Minority in the Corsair society)]
- Evolution of this society would then be similar to the rest of the houses, with one difference - starvation. Hispanians would be required to send many deep space exploration missions throughout the nearby space.
Around 60 A.S. - Omicrons Theta would be explored. Sadly to the Triumvirate, the only result of such exploration would be realising that planet Pygar is unsuitable for colonisation.
- Same goes with Omicron Kappa due to the high levels of radiation.
100-150 A.S. - Planet Malta would be discovered much later than if there were Outcats arriving with whatever would remain out of the Hispania. Looking from the orbit, the planet would seem to be a perfect food source due to it's fertility. It's not one of the wet worlds, but it's far better than Crete. Whoever would land there would see vast regions overgrown in orange grass not edible to humans. Now the problems would start. People returning to Omicron Gamma would die. Hispanians would soon realise that the Maltese environment contains an addictive drug. How many people would the exploration vessel on Malta contain? Hundreds or thousands? There would be no cure for these people. The Triumvirate government would not be left with any other choice than sealing the Omicron Alpha. The stranded people would be called... you guess it - The Outcasts. This group would then become similar to the non-alternate Outcasts, but much smaller, with more local influence over the upper Omicrons, but nothing else. They would likely become hostile to the Triumvirate, for letting them on an unknown planet without any valuable help. Distances are still great in the age when jump gates and trade lanes don't exist yet. Help is not possible.
150-400 A.S. - Friendly contact would be made between The Hispanic Triumvirate and Rheinland. The Triumvirate would finally get a stable source of food. Rheinlanders would of course want something in return. Artifacts may be pose some scientific value, but Rheinland may want more than that.
- Hispanics would likely discover Omicron Delta and it's vast iridium deposits. With the spread of the jump gate and trade lane technology, the Hispanics would likely carve their way to these resources. Resulting in an iridium-food lines going from Omega 11 down to Omicron Gamma and up to Omicron Delta. Maybe with just one dangerous radioactive spot - Omega 41. The rest of the trade highway would come through Gamma, Theta, Lambda and Delta.
- Problem for the Hispania would be possible pirate attacks rising in numbers along this long way and having just one planet, making the Triumvirate into the weakest economy in Sirius.
- Nomads would be discovered by Rheinland expedition just like in the non-alternate time line. Infestation process would be very slow, just like in the non-alternate line. But with the Triumvirate access to deep Omicron sytsems and their cooperation with Rheinland, the Nomad war in the future would have two antagonists. Rheinland and Hispania.
589 A.S. - A unilaterally established Kruger gas mining depot in Sigma-13 is allegedly destroyed by protective GMG paramilitary forces. This marks the beginning of the Eighty Years (Definitely shorter) War between Rheinland/Hispania and the Gas Miners Guild.
- Rheinlanders would of course ask Hispania for assistance, the war would result in total obliteration of The GMG from Sigma 13, which's gas fields would be divided between Kruger and some Hispanic mining corporation, the same which would conduct iridium mining operations in Omicron Delta, let's call it Yaren Mining Works.
Later than 600 A.S. - Previous moves would mess up the relations with Kusari resulting in a short SIgma Cold War, but due to the Hispanic discovery of a habitable planet in the Sigmas - Kurile, Kusari would gain access to a fish food source for planet Junyo. They would be getting the food from The Hispania, in exchange for credits and a peace threty.
- The Outcasts would become a small criminal organisation engaged in Cardamine smuggling mostly around Kusari, where it becomes immediately illegal. Trade down to The Hispanic Triumvirate would be effectively blocked by the centuries present blockade.
800 A.S. - The Nomad War would not be much different. Freeport 7 would explode. The only great differences would show up in Sigma 13, being tightly guarded by Hispanic/Rheinland fleets.
- After the war, the Sirius would be very similar to the non-alternate timeline. With a one house being down in the Omicrons and Omegas.

I think you mistaken this thread for a flood, which is in here. Moreover, if you have nothing interesting to say, just don't comment in it. If you don't like it, just ignore it and do the same exact thing - that is not commenting in here.
Have a nice day.

I like it. And yeah, I was mainly refering to the Omega-Sigma-Omicron and Rheinland-Kusari situation in particular.

According to the Disco lore, which treats extended intro from Freelancer as canon, it has been destroyed by a Nomad Suncrusher.
Best possible cause, since the edge of pluto was slightly spared. There was someone who managed to fly from pluto and tried to warn the escaping ships.
Could have ships out even further who survived and pulled a Higarian Homeworld bit.
But the nomads...eh don't think they would let any survive.
But hey here's one I'm all for
What if the Colonial Regiment never made it? I'd be tickled pink.
Or the IMG didn't fracture from the Miners from Bretionia and Rheinland but rather formed a partnership that brought the two houses closer together? I know...too happy of a situation. I can dream.
