I whole heartadly agree with this.  My groups have complained of this
frequently or dropped big hints that it would be fun.

There is yet another solution.  You could back off of the GDW officialness
of the rebellion a little (not much mind you).  There is room spinward of
the Spinward Marches where the Zhondani have not expanded rimward and the
Aslan have not expanded coreward.  Right next to the Marches, that corridor
is quite thin, however it does open up some a few sectors out.  (Look at the
adventure Laviathan (sp) for references).  There has been plenty of unexplored
turf to mess with.

The real problem that I have is with the world generation.  It is built on
assuming that a thriving interstellar community exists.  A little creative
thought can go a long way in interpreting the data from the UWP.  High TLs
and starports are hard to justify, but could.

The other factor that can be used is the fact that a majority of the worlds
outside of the Imperium were mapped from long range by the IISS during the
first grand survey and that information may not be completly accurate.

Just some thoughts.
