Whatever happened to all of Natopia's old space stuff?

I hear talk of getting our space program started and I'm like, "Wait, isn't that already a thing?"

In this era of orbital peace, the space program has been focused almost entirely on patrolling the spacelanes from Micras to Tarsica. New Lindstrom Colony continues to add to the scientific community, but has had very few ground-breaking discoveries. NISS continues to provide logistic support to the fleet and serves as a trading hub for whatever other spaceships are up there right now.

Sadly the focus on space exploration reached its height during the colonization of Giess. That planet's disappearance has cause the public to be fearful of such deep-space exploration and so the past few administrations have de-emphasized Natopia's space fleet.

A resurgence of the Universal population in southern Sororiya and a renewed partnership with Safiria would be ideal to boost the public's confidence in space exploration.

Once the current round of territorial musical chairs is out of the way, it is hoped that the impending supplementary defence review will be able to address such matters, amongst other things.

In the meantime, please feel free to wallow in a bit of nostalgia with this ancient map of Tarsicia:

We should launch an exploratory commission to find out what happened to Giess (IC that is).

Most definitely... although an expedition to these other worlds is not out of the question.

Might you happen to know Giess' location in the universe?

Looking through the surviving records, it does not appear that it was ever established, or that anyone asked at the time, but I could have missed something somewhere...
