I know it isn't possible because point decision is too large a gap for colonization but wouldn't it be cool if a colonization effort could commence in that cluster of stars?
Elysium Colonization

Do you mean the Elysian Shore? That is part of my goal in setting up outposts, so far I've completed three in the Sanguineous Rim. The ultimate goal make a turn towards the Elysian Shore.
No, at least I don't think so. Many years ago between distant worlds 1 and distant world 2 there was a special expedition to map what was then a very hard cluster to get to. We started at a high G planet called hades and then ascended to what we were calling the elysium cluster. To get there at the time it was fairly difficult because jump ranges weren't that far. It is also, even now, one way (except for carriers).
ES Cancri is in the cluster.
Here is a picture from the gal map with ES Cancri selected. It has some tourist spots in it which are related to the expedition. One is the anaconda graveyard because at the time, that was the easiest ship to design to make the trip so a lot of us had one.
Here is a second image from more of the side. This small cluster strip of stars makes up what we called the elysium cluster.
Another name for it is the cancri cluster.
Here is a short summary of the expedition.
The Distant Stars Expedition in Elite Dangerous involved over 350 pilots who made a one-way journey to the Cancri Cluster, also known as Elysium, in January 3303. This cluster is located far beyond regular FSD ranges and is accessible via a 220 light-year neutron boost with no neutron star on the other side. The final neutron star along the route, nicknamed 'Decision', is the point of no return, as there is no known way back from Elysium after reaching it.

The thing is, with a 15ly range for colonization that means you can't colonize in it since the nearest star is a neutron (at point decision) and is over 200 ly away from the nearest star in the elysium cluster.
