Though that same amazing terraforming capability, necessary to give the setting all those habitable moons etc, raises another question/pokes another hole in the

used-up blackrock, zero resources left, it's still useful just as a great big lump of real estate right in the middle of the habitable zone.
Not just Earth, but Mars, Venus, and several of the moons orbiting Jupiter and Saturn would be likely candidates. And there would be no need for Miranda…
