Ok, having the locations of these planets known and kept recorded in any human database not taken with us when we leave is a big no, just so we're clear on that. When we leave, the sith will likely try to follow us, these colonists's destinations should be known to nobody, aside from the colonists themselves. Optimally, the destination of a colony fleet is to known until after they enter warp. Also, no communication with established human colonies, unless it's a massive counterattack to retake earth.

If the remaining forces do somehow prevail, these colonists will not know until decades or centuries later when they return, hopefully with a fleet big enough to ensure victory. I have a whole document outlining the AIF's "Conestoga Contingency", detailing a plan of action for a rearguard action by the fleet, and an evacuation of the AIF, and possibly UCG and others, to begin colonization of new planets. Among other things, this would involve massive fortification of the new colonies, including system protecting defense grids at Kuiper belt distance, and automated sentry ships. It would take a massive time to build, hence the extreme secrecy involved in the project. Of course, if this was enacted, I'd probably see the demise of most of my main characters, as they stay behind to fight a final massive rearguard action, to hold back the Sith, and allow time for the colonists to escape. This also sets the stage for a possible reboot a century in the future, after all our current characters are dead or dying, and either their descendants or new characters have take up the baton. I've given the idea of a mass exodus quite some thought actually.
