WTF are you talking about. The previous, aplha/beta intro was scrapped and neutralized, no nomads attacked Sol, it still exists for canon purposes! SL is set before the construction or even the concept of the sleeper ships, recall that they had been engaing in combat for 100 years, SL timeframe is different from that of the FL preview, probably by a decade or at least several years, I would presume (why would anyone flee when they where WINNING the war, as in SL, thus it's evident the preview was set later). BTW: Coalition sabetours damaged the Hispania pre-launch (or It was damaged as it launched by the capital ship bombardiers, perhaps) I beleive. Why did anyone post in this several year old reference, anyway? The Nomads were awakened by a Rheinland exploration team AFTER sirius was colonized, I beleive it occured just prior to the intialization of Edison Trent's ordeal.

The "8" Sleeper Ships - Compilation thread
If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Yeah, the archialogists (Sorry) bored through Pygar's crust, and into a Nomad den. (That'd make for a creepy movie) Oh, and has anyone noticed that if you are friends with the Zoners, Pygar is green towards you? It is also labeled as "Zoner's Planet" for some reason. Maybe you can land on it???

It's seems that we've all agreed upon this...at least there's common ground in that sense. I was just milling through old responces...there's some interesting theories in there. It'll hard to prove any of them, though... Somebody should have contacted Chris Roberts; he probably came up with the whole thing.

yeh but the thing i dont get.. is Australia should of been in it i mean ok all the other nations and everyone forgets about Austrlalia lol... if they had Australia in the game obviously it would be the founder of pirates cause everyone knows the 1st people on australia were criminals... maybe in freelancer 2 you find out Austrlalia started the war and thats why we were left behind =(

What's That System Near Omicron Alpha? The Nomads Killed Me Almost.
Maybe Three Nomad Sleepers Set Off Just Before The Alliance And Maybe Thats What The Bar Guy On Malta Is Going On About.
Is There Another Unknown System Like The One Near Omicron Alpha.

Only 5 sleeper ships ever existed. Only 5 sleeper ships launched.
Anything else is just plain rumor and speculation with no substance or facts to support the claims.
Hispana was damaged during its flight to Sirius but when and how far from Sirius is just speculation.
Now understand this..what a sleeper ship is. It is a ship that contains occupants in cryogenic stasis until it reaches a pre-programmed destination.
It was 800 years since they landed in Sirius. <<<notice LANDED...
FACT:
The distance to Sirius is approximately 69 thousand light years from Earth. (69,000 LIGHT YEARS). Get it.
If the sleeper ships traveled at half the speed of light, it would have taken 138 thousand years (138,000 years) to reach Sirius. Not including the time it takes to locate a suitable planet. Speed of light travel is still impossible to achieve according to Einstienian Theory.
It was the 23 Century when the Sleeper ships launched. In 138,000 years that would make it the 13,823rd Century Since Sol. When the colonists Landed in Sirius, they began a new calandar starting with the year 1 AS.
But considering the speed at which most ships fly in the Single Player game, (300k) it was probably a hell of alot longer. There is no mention of "Warp Drive" or "Hyper Space" so its most likely their speed was at or not far above the current game settings. Those sleeper ships (5 of them) you see zipping off out of view were probably jumping into the standard "game" cruise speed.
Get your facts straight.
So now, its at least 138,000 + 800 years since the ships left Sol.
Humanity by this time in Sol is either extinct, crashed back into the stone age or has spread out across the Galaxy...by which time they surely would have come across those who came to Sirius in the Sleeper Ships. But considering the so called "nomad" theory...they're most likely extinct with perhaps a remnant left of survivors. It could be enough time in 138 thousand years for humanity to get back on its feet.
Our population crashed about 10 thousand years ago leaving about 50 thousand left alive out of several hundred million on this planet..(DNA Testing has proven this and it is called a "bottleneck"
. Seeing the present evidence occuring, this population will crash again in about 28 years if we havent killed ourselves off by then.

I am wrong. Apparently the Sirius they were referring to was the Dog Star which is less than 40 light years away.
