 All the major cities along US 66 are still
 major cities connected by I-40.

 A Pop9 world in the OTU isn’t going to get
 cut off because it’s too expensive to build transport
 infrastructure from the outer system to the main worlds.

Even during 'The Long Night'?

If they didn't have a high enough TL & "the starships just stopped coming", they wouldn't have much choice.
I believe in CT, TL9 allows J1 but suppose that's not good enough cuz' they's need J2+.
Or the system is TL8 & can't make their own J-drives?
