Pretty much this. Disco story comes from Vanilla Freelancer on most of parts. If we would rely on the video that shows Nomad blasting Sol then we need to pay attention to this 'young general Atticus Rockford' that was only one human that survived in sol and went to Sirius to warn the people about threat. But there is nothing known about him for sure. We saw him landing at Manhattan but then no further information about him appeared.
About this old-time RP of long gone veterans that Tabby mentioned - RP sometimes getting beyond of allowed and logical borders. Some members of this community was hungry it seems, and made that kind of RP of Discovery universe history, that definitly belongs only to Dev ''jurisdiction''. Over years on disco we saw that old RP often enough getting criticized by current players. They blame vets in making mistakes in their factions RP, and now current leaders have to deal with that mistakes with current level and understanding of how RP should be done.
(personal example is break of Order/Corsair/SCRA relations, which was mostly ooRP issue. Those time had very low RP level on current standarts.)
