Good for RP, because it's a fictional sector of the galaxy anyway.
Not much else, though.
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,
brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.

Actually, they did...
Quote:2080 A.D. Two prototype sleeper ships, the Gemini and Orion, are sent on a colonization mission into distant space and not heard of again.
This isn't TOTALLY useless, IMO... This'll help in clearing Disco history, and help the RP of those that are looking forward to building sleeper ships to go back to sol on an expeditionary mission.
Making new Alien is useless, ye say, Tenac? Nonesense!
What still bugs me is that the liberty sleeper ship landed years before any other sleeper ship, despite the fact that new york is in the -middle- of sirius. Shouldnt the rheinland have landed first? Did the corsairs land on Crete even before that?
The more you learn, the less you know, I guess.
Anyways, this whole thing also brings up a lot of speculation about where other things in the galaxy are. For example...
The sol nomads were awake at the time of the exodus from earth to sirius, which means they couldnt have been inbetween sol and sirius, or they would have destroyed the sleeper ships as well - seems most likely that they'd be on the opposite side of sol from sirius, or maybe more towards the core or further from it, but not in the path towards sirius.
The phantoms are based in northern sirius, and it makes sense that they'd be closest to their c'tan overlords, we also know the c'tan empire (as far as roleplay is concerned) is very very large and consists of the enslaved remnants of dozens of other spacefaring groups, so we can speculate that they control probably much of the northern half of the galaxy on the image.
Gallia is outside of sirius according to the storyline stuff igiss has written, so it's probably inbetween sirius and the outer neighboring spiral arm, though much smaller than sirius as it's only a single house worth of colonization.
There are two options for the Daam K'vosh - either they left the milky way galaxy, or they were forced to retreat to the core. It's speculated that most galaxies have either a massive black hole at the core, or numerous large black holes, but maybe the K'vosh had the technology to survive within the core where their enemies (whoever they might be, the c'tan maybe) could not pursue them.
Perhaps the K'vosh are from the core originally, even, and simply venture out here and there to study the galaxy and leave the nomads to watch over things after they go back 'home'? All possibilities.
Hey, I dont like that gung-ho admin conspiracy faction any more than anyone else around here, but fact of the matter is that they exist and that RP has been ground into discovery's own lore, so it's something we have to deal with/consider.
