While I don't share the sentiments of Syrus entirely, I can see where the "Tau 23 is our Alpha" comment is coming from. The IMG is most concentrated on Niobium mining. Although Tau 37 has a better field, that area bordering Alpha makes it near impossible to go there. You'd almost need a battleship fleet as escort against the forces that would show. Personally I'd have liked to see another system between Alpha and T37 - something with a neutron star so people don't go through it needlessly, the Taus are just too dang close to Alpha. But that's a matter for the devs.
Java is our "home" base so to say, because it's the center of most activity for the IMG.
