OK, I was wrong.

Regardless, I can understand why it wouldn't be ready. 12,000 years is a long time but turning a celestial body into a spaceship would be no mean feat... and, well, the loporrits are not the most, ah, sensible folk. Besides which it was ready, just not very comfortable, and the main obstacle was getting stuff up from Etheirys. (Domiciles were 3x larger than necessary.)
