Speaking of concultural limbo, the whole of the Kolagian sector is in a
similar state at the moment. The biggest displacement has got to be the
planet Thersenia, which was near the Omega Centauri star cluster. I want
the distances to be more realistic, while still remaining a ways away, so
I'm thinking they must be somewhere around the Pleiades, if I can find a
suitable star nearby.

(Physical distance is actually misleading since Kolagian space travel
depends on the existence of "tunnels" in the luminiferous ether, which =
are
thought to have been built by an ancient civilization. But it's a good
rough guide to travel time.)
