II would have been interesting to see Gallia break up and be divided up, allow for Sirian colonization, instead of what we have. It was empty for so long because it was hostile to everything. The way to make it better and more used (more explored) space was to open it up to bring Sirius there, not the other way around. Imagine the Sirian houses sending corporations into a defeated Gallia to claim now uncontrolled resources. Junkers show up (actual Sirian ones), various militaries and organizations steak claims on planets, mining fields and territory because the Gallic government collapses. Council takes what territory it can, maybe new sub states arise. That would have been how the player base could be up there enjoying all those new beautiful systems that still rarely get seen. Gallia is still a bit of a hostile place to Sirian characters looking to just go to explore. Never was a delete Gallia person, but defeat them inrp to solve the problem, yes, because it should be there for Sirius to wind up in, not them wind up Gallia-izing Sirius.
