A mix of all the above. Some are already dug in and rapidly burrowing underground cities while strip-mining other sections of the planet, others are still in transit or are floating without guidance because of running into cosmic anomalies or stray fire on the way out of the Meknik cluster.

Between flash-clone facilities, heavy industry, Meknik work ethic, and disregard for the environment, a Meknik colony doesn't need long to get running. So the potential for interactions is very broad.

Oh, cool. I see some interesting potential, since as I mentioned earlier there are certain systems that Ch'ak has 'claimed' and has beacons set up but hasn't utilized [i]at all[/i] because there's a life-bearing world there and exploiting the system would be immoral. If one of these colonies happened to arrive in one of those systems (or even arrive in a dead system and wonder why the hell there's literally nothing there or one currently being stripped by World Eaters) it could be an interesting first contact between the Meknik and Ch'ak'ii.
