No:PIf the Gaian's had a planet, the BAF would wipe it clean from orbit/give the Army something to do.
As for Sprague, you'll notice that the undockable planet belongs to the Rhineland Ploce, despite having no docking ring. In SP it was Sprauge that awakened the Sirius Nomads (I think), which was done by a Rhineland team. I'd imagine after Rhineland was 'defeated' in the Nomad War, the Bretonians would have seized Sprauge as reparations (think about it, half of Bretonia was invaded by Rhineland battlefleets, you'd want payback). Also, it's proximity to Cambridge. If the planet was claimed by the Brets, imagine the sheer amount of researchers that would swoop on it. They'd certainly raise enough funds for a docking ring.
Having Sprague as a dedicated Bret research planet would be awesome.

I know in the old 2.29 mod that Sprague was a dockable planet and even had a heavy fighter for sale on it. I do think it should be done again and made a Zoner research planet.
Stop tipping off the general public, or take a look at the terms of use.
Dont keep taunting those who aren't in the know because you can please, it just makes people more anxious and worked up about it. More questions result and half answers are used as they are here, and the process repeats.
Perhaps Orbital Spa and Cruise could take it over, and use it as a base for Archeological Tourism? "come see the ruins!!"
(like holidays to Egypt, etc)
