Oh, BTW WMCoolmon? That' impossible, or at least there's a 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999to 1 chance that that would happen, because, first, it couldn't get through an un-stabalized node (unless it's been stabalized, and the ships explosion closes it again) and, secondly, that's a GTVA Vasudan destroyer model, it's almost impossible for the Vasudans that were trapped in Sol to create one that looks exactly the same (see chances above:p)
I don't know about the unstabilized node thing, but there is a chance that a Hat could have come through had it been stabilized. What if a rengade group of Vasudans had discovered a new way back to earth, say a new node formed spontaneously between Sol and Alpha Centauri, and the GTVA havn't found it yet? If the node was stable, they could have gone to Earth through the back door, found it had been taken over by a strange new race (it's under attack by unknown forces remember, and there was a third node leading away from Earth in FS1 (It was conveniently deleted in time for FS2)), and they return to DS through the somehow stable Sol-DS node. granted it's not
likely, but it's more than 1 to 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 at least. You just have to think a bit.
Edit - Just got one. It's even less likely than the Hat finding a secret node, but hey, I'm just writing what's coming into my head. What if Sol had discovered a way to do a sort of system-wide subspacial degaussing, which, over a few weeks, knocked the node back into alignment. It could also produce nodes, eg the one to Alpa Centauri which the Hat used, and then the Hat leaves through the almost-but-not-quite-stable Sol node, and just barely makes it through.
