Tijian Expanse/secret

The real reason for the massive colonization effort: the Expanse is right in what Tiji fears is the likely path of the Zhodani Consulate, should it decide to expand coreward. That the colonies are intended to act as canaries and a buffer in this event is not often discussed, and almost all colonists remain ignorant of this.

Much unofficial support is purchased from Wapa Cha, Wosro, and Onae Snae, using Syibis to mask the transfer.
