The problem with Oolite and the above mentioning the Raxxlans, tionsila etc is these where player made versions of the game and added features by the community, mostly fluff also
here, this is Old Worlds. Guard this map with your life :)

Long live Old Worlds freedom fighters !!!

I found something very interesting... why all these star clusters aim straight at the bubble ???

NGC 7822 Nebula.Screenshot (257).png

For unknown reason these clusters are aligned to look like they are aiming at the bubble.
 
By the way, you do realize they pulled a fast one in the game series. There was a prequel in there. As such, there was no way the first game occurs in GalCop because Lave isn't colonized until 2412.

The chronological order of the games is actually this (from a lore perspective):
Frontier (prequel to Elite Classic) but actually made as the 2nd game
Elite Classic (this is because Lave isn't colonized until 2412)
First Encounters
Elite Dangerous

The Dark Wheel is run by Jacques and Jacques Station is their base of operations. Jacques though is just a moniker (which means "surplanter"). His old station, Peters Base, in Facece was above Peters Wreck (except that he lived). Jacques is Peter Jameson. The Dark Wheel was not founded by a Ryder. Alex Ryder's father was already a member of The Dark Wheel as was Raffe Zetter so it means it was founded even earlier. I am curious to see if there is a Tesla Roadster onboard Jacques station from Sol. Your beneficiary is Jacques. You received the invite at the beginning. You cannot be invited to what you are already a member.

So, now that we have that out of the way, we know where TDW is based (Colonia). We have a station that was apparently heavily modified if it is capable of thousands of lightyears in a single bound. But here's the catch, there was an attempt to interfere with the jump that was thwarted but it misjumped anyway. Maybe we should have been looking at Colonia and the immediate vicinity all along. Brewer Corporation just built a nice bridge for us, too.

Freelance Report: Attempt to Sabotage Jaques Station Thwarted

Freelance Report: Attempt to Sabotage Jaques Station Thwarted

Three individuals carrying pamphlets identifying them as members of 'The Hands of the Architects' have been apprehended at Jaques Station. Starport personnel discovered the individuals attempting to modify the station's frame shift drive.

A station spokesperson said: "The individuals are apparently members of a cult that arose shortly after Jasmina Halsey first claimed to have encountered super-intelligent, non-human life. Materials confiscated from the individuals indicate that they hoped to force a mis-jump during Jaques's forthcoming journey to Beagle Point. Apparently they thought this would give them an opportunity to meet Halsey's 'architects'."

The would-be saboteurs are currently being held in custody at Jaques Station while starport personnel discuss possible extradition with nearby systems.

Note: These events happened in Gliese 1269.

I believe it is because these are stars based on real world data, as seen from Earth, hence they apear to point towards the original point of observation (Earth).
Exactly. The possition in the earth sky is very accurate, while the distance is not. This gives a strange effect when the data is plotted in 3D.

Elite starts in 3125, Frontier in 3200, First encounters in 3250 and Dangerous in 3300.

all hundreds of years after 2412.

Letter in the manual for Frontier says 31.12.3199, you definitely have a point there. Still sounds like Jacques is actually Peter Jameson as his old station was a Coriolis named Peters Base above Peter's Wreck. The name Jacques means "supplanter".

Even 3D modeling wouldn't make that mistake because the way it is in the game you wouldn't see most of the stars at the end of that star cluster trail. Must have being done on purpose.

They’re stars from the 2 Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS). Only clusters were used from 2MASS because the location data was generally considered to be to innaccurate.

As @Han_Zen says the position measurements are more accurate than the distance measurements for 2MASS, so when put into the game and viewed in 3D, that results in the shape seen.

The orientation towards Sol is because the measurements were done from Sol, and so the more inaccurate distance data is always in a radial direction from Sol.
