While you have a valid point, we are talking about space here not about
walking through a mountain pass or Jungle. How are enemy ships going to
know where my jump points are, they could be anywhere in open space. I
would also point at that earth bound colonization often had no set
"master plan" rationalization to it also. Look at Africa or islands in
the Pacific. People grabbed at wherever they alnded, then carved out
niches for themsleves where ever they were.

Look at Portuguese colonization. Brazil, A  few stops in Indian right in
the middle of Brit owned land. A spot or two on the Chinese Miainland.
Three seperate	and unconnected tracks of land (2 very huge) in Africa.

I picked LTT1583 becuase it's an actual place.Is there an actual star at
thecoordinates you have given?

If we were talking about a Universe where there are jump points ala
starfire that's one thing. but I've always found drawing boundry lines
in space to be kind of funny.
