I really should publish my "Secret History of the OU".

It explains a few things - like the Meekatharra Impact ( or: the
Gilderstein Foundation finds out that experimentation on Earth
is too bloody dangerous - the "asteroid impact" was a cover story).
And why the OU sold one of the best worlds it had to the NIs.
And why there are OU nav buoys in places where (Officially)
 No Man Has Gone Before.
And why there is no date listed for the first OU FTL ship.

Let's just say your speculations are spot on, they just don't go far
enough. Not that this is Canonical mind you. Yet, anyway.
