Sunnydale’s not as important as it used to be. We’ve got faster hyperdrives and faster hyperspace runs to work with now. And Sunnydale is closer to the heart of our space than the frontiers now as well. But it is still the heart of trade for everything within forty or fifty lightyears. It’s only real competition is Unity, and that’s pretty good competition if we’re being honest. But Sunnydale has the advantage of infrastructure. We built them up into the premier Western Alliance fleet and ground base short of Alpha Centauri. We needed it to support the fleet and the army we used to hit the Hyades Cluster, and we left all of it behind after War’s End. Factories. Shipyards. Warehouses. A wealth of infrastructure no single system could ever afford to build on its own. Sunnydale’s got it all. That’s why people like me keep showing up. Well…I may have a few other reasons. I am a bit of hero there, you know. I saved the planet. The pretty ladies are real appreciative of that. Rather demonstrative too, if we’re bringing out the five-dollar words.
