We're probably not going to go near those systems, but yes the systems are still open.

I suppose I should mention that the corridor has stabilized and the portal has been deconstructed for further study.

The GTVA however, is not actively persuing operations in the systems. Only Mintaka has a small presence of gas miners and light military patrols and sensor buoys.

Thats a bit surprising, considering Kaus Borealis has an Earthlike planet just ripe for colonization

Basically your saying the earthlike planet in KB was an Ancient planet that got razed like Vasuda Prime, thousands of years ago.

Still... the planet is cool enough now that water is in a liquid form. While deserted, it would at least be a good base of ops in that area, at the very least a mining colony.

At one point there was going to be a plot tie in with the planet, but that didn't fit quite right so its just eye candy, but I wanted to leave the impression that someone else had been there before and the Shivans wiped them out.

Yes it could have been an ancient colony. The ancients did build the Knossos portal and we know that there is definately more than 1...there are 3 in FreeSpace 2 and whose to say that there aren't more.
