The South American Union picked the San Andres colony with care. It was in a largely unexplored sector of space, but there was a star in its neighborhood that might be able to connect directly back to Alpha Centauri. Even the Big Three hadn’t managed to find the hyperspace run connecting the two systems from the Alpha Centauri end and abandoned thoughts of the system. South America sent their best scientists out to San Andres, and then to the world that would become San Santiago. It took them years to lock down the hyperspace run back to Alpha Centauri, but once they did, it opened the entire sector up to a new wave of human expansion. The Union Council finally had the big discovery that could bring them riches unimaginable to Earthborn minds.
