In the Galactic Atlas edition 817 (which does not include Gallic Core systems), the Sirius Sector - a supercluster of stars about 500 light years away from Sol - counts 124 systems, of which 56 are property of the various House governments (not counting Outcasts and Corsairs) and 67 which are not.

Shortly before losing the Great War (and the destruction of the Sol system),the Alliance launched five Sleeper Ships in a desperate attempt to escape a future under a communist Coalition regime. All of them bar the Hispania (which was sabotaged by the Coalition spies which should later form the Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army) arrived intact in the Sirius system, granting humanity a new beginning in a foreign sector.
