Loser, PM me the name of the system which puzzles you.
For a map of this setting, the worse start I saw was Murden in PBW total annihilation. His only homesystem had a random system wide move 1 each turn. He was a newbye, and he discovered that it applied also to units.
So each turn he looked sadly at his mines drifting away, as were later a few sats and a cripled warship of him.
Last : defensive players will go to hell.
EDIT : ok, I loaded the map into the mapeditor and pinpointed the location of one of your homeworld with the player order. I feel sorry for you (trying not to laught). But you'll have to live with it. In fact it could be worse : think about Geoshmo in Return to Orion with his only homeworld located in a shieldless system, and with an agressive alien just 1 system away using...organic armors.
I am really sorry, but your situation really gave me a good laught.....
