You could expand it by adding the Dark Nebula maps.
The real problem with the 70 world Ziru Sirka is that Capella is right at the edge of the Solomani Rim. Presumably a fair bit of the ZS is in the sector to rimward of the Solomani Rim, which we have no canonical mapping for.
Unfortunately, locating the ZS in the Solomani Rim would require the sector to be renamed. It certainly wouldn't be at the rimward extreme of the Imperium.
On the other hand, if you look at a map of the SR, there is a rift of sorts between Terra and Capella. Basically, there are only a few places where a J2 ship can cross the "rift" without jumping into empty hexes. Is it possible that the "rift" whose crossing point Capital controls is only three parsecs wide?
If J3+ merchant vessels are comparatively rare and expensive, the crossing point(s) could be of considerable economic significance. Sure, naval ships could cross anywhere, but the money flows through Capital's coffers.
Hmm. Actually, I like this. It has a kind of geeky charm, being based on an ancient and obscure reference.
Bolting on the Spinward Marches, the Outrim Void and the Judges' Guild sectors should still be possible, assuming that the Solomani expanded out beyond the Ziru Sirka's territory.
The main drama is the need to rename the Solomani Rim and (probably) Aldebaran sectors. The SR probably becomes Core sector, and Vland becomes Capital, sometime during the Rule of Man.
Vland, incidentally, is probably somewhere in the Near Bootes cluster. It wouldn't be Capella itself.
Now, what about the Vegans?
