I can understand that. However, know that recreating the old territory exactly as it was on the old map solves exactly zero to us. Put yourselve in our shoes for a moment: It's literally the worst-case scenario we Mirus users could have. The whole reason we protested against the Scramble for Mirus was because we felt we were left out of it all. In our minds, we had colonies in the former DT-territories and then, suddenly, all of that was gone, undone on a moment by higher-ups. We really felt like we had facts pressed upon us from up high and could do nothing against - the SMC is the reaction. Added to that, to me at least, newer, non-Mirus/non-Xonexi empires also go robbed of the changce to colonize that piece of the Galaxy, because it suddenly got a large TAKEN stamp on it. That is the reason why I opted for a neutraility zone, or significant gaps in former DT territory all this time. Make no mistake, I was truly tempted to step in and use my veto as a Mirus user when I realized the full implications of the Scramble, but then it appeared we could resolve the situation peacefully story-wise, which was great, so we Mirus-users hopped in on it.

On the old map, former DI territory used to strech all the way to the Waptoria, true. In the headcanon of at least me and Gorzill, and I'd recon Zilla too, it never really did. What you see here are two conflicting visions. The question is which vision is the true one, that is the Mirus-"native" users, or the non-Mirus-"natives". As a Mirus user, I would say we'd have the last call, simply because we are Mirus users and what happens to the the galaxy is "dearer" to us than to you. To us, you certainly wouldn't want us waltzing in on Bunsen, or Andromeda, or the MW, and claim a large swath of historically important territory without noticing the "native" users, wouldn't you? Common sense would have it that you'd disagree with me there, of course XD

But all of that, actually, does no longer matter now, until you'd really want it to (and I do not see why you would want that given my pervious point).

Relax. It is a new map. A new beginning to sort things out - and it right this time. Former DT space can be as big or as small as both sides want it.

With some goodwill on both sides (and I can assure you I have that), we can easily satisfy both demands. By simply making DT territory only a bit larger, you guys can get your territories back, and we can get ours at the same time. You see how much this map differs from the previous one? Territories aren't fixed.

We have always had our colonies in our headcanon. We can still have them. You have always had your colonies in your headcanon. You can still have them. The SMC can attack the Xonexi for Imperialism, and the Xonexo can get all their territories back, without the Mirusians losing their own (having never lost them to the Xonexi). That is the wonderful thing about a new map.
