By the definition of "system", I'm not convinced that Sirius A and B should necesarilly be in the same system.
Perhaps our progenitors came to rest near Sirius A.. (perhaps Coronado..?) and found lifeless planets.
Sirius B has always been the mysterious "dark companion".. even to the ancient Dogon and Bozo tribes of Africa. Perhaps those ancient telepathic messages from "Nommo" the Fish God actually came from a recently discovered hollow geode orbiting Sirius B.. (aka Baffin's primary. Har!).
Alright. I retract my hypothesis.. a system can have more than one star.
Just playing... never mind.
In fact. i concede that A and B are in the same "system", as it took the perturbations in A's orbit to pinpoint B in the first place. They're lock-stepped, which proves the Binary nature of the two.
Well, perhaps they aren't in Edinburgh, since those stars are pretty much the same size. Sirius Stars
These two stars [Sirius A being the larger], are totally different in size, so perhaps it is Sigma-19.
A way a lone a last a loved a long the riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay,

You know, -37 actually does make sense. It's a binary system and it is on the outer edge of the dust/particle clouds/nebulae, so it would be readly visible from Earth.
Only issue is that the stars are awefully close together, and, even from the edges of the clouds, look like one object.
Edinburgh also makes sense for the same reason that it is on the "edge" of the sector.
But...
...what's to say that Earth is in the "plane" of Sirius? Think 3D, guys...maybe Sol is "towards"/"away" from us as we look at the map (see above post).
Why then, do the Rheinland, the Liberty, and the Kusari, all land before Bretonia?
Bretonia lands 14 years after the last of the first three, which land in close succession, implying they all started from about the same point, with slight differences in their angles and speeds. it forms something of an arrow, pointing in the direction I expect they flew. That is, away from Sol. Sol is in the direction, from Liberty, of the omicrons.
While somewhat removed from Sirius proper (tip of Orion's scabbard..?), the constellation Orion could conceivably be in what our forefathers called the "Sirius Sector".
Might offer a convenient conceit to use as reference.

I'm still seeing an issue with those nebula clouds & visibilty...maybe Omicron Lost, then?...
I actually believed Tau-37 was Sirius for a while until I heard that there was an in-game rumor about Sirius being in Kusari and that tourists visited Kusari to see Sirius all the time. Sigma-19 seemed like a better candidate because of the Luxury Liner Hawaii, the closeness to Kusari, and the binary stars.
The problem is that the sector map is in 2D. If it were in 3D, I could probably figure out where Sol is and the relative locations of all the star systems.
