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.
