The idea is that nations in close proximity (Delson, EIT, Karalian Empire) would have border systems between them, but would still be close, and use things like stargates or jumpgates to traverse relatively short interstellar distances. More distant empire groups, which already don't interact much with other groups, would be accessible by natural means like Freelancer's jumpholes, but this would be difficult and not widespread, allowing for contact, but preventing it from causing too many issues. We could even sever contact altogether and have several isolated communities of nations. I'm making a blog post.
