There's a problem built right into Kepho-Rn, the Academic language: their word for the destination of an expedition is most easily translated as "colony", like a colony of insects. They started using it before they found other planets and people to explore, so they'd go a planet over and found a "colony", like we would if we went to Mars.
But that turns out to be problematic when there are people there. I leave the solution to such dilemmae as an exercise to the players.
