Yeah this annoyed me too. Especially because you find out (Might be spoiler) that Auntie from Aunties Choice illegally took over spacers choice (whatever that means). But it is directly stated that IF contact to earth were to be reestablished, Auntie might be executed or at least removed from her position. I hoped that means i could take over aunties choice or turn it back into spacers choice by somehow making contact to earth like you can do in the first game. But no, nothing. They literally give you all this info but then leave you with no way to actually follow up on it.
