Bellagaia's faction becomes the first main-site group to turn restored legal ownership into voluntary evacuation toward an independent new home.
Bellagaia reopened contact after the contamination crisis, brought divided leaders to Karime, and revealed the existence of the hidden polar settlement despite opposition within her community. That disclosure allowed Murderbot's team to reach the separatists before Barish-Estranza could quietly control them.
Seven days after the polar rescue, Bellagaia's faction chooses resettlement in a newly independent colony outside the Corporation Rim. Sum Total coordinates two shuttle loads while the Preservation responder escorts them against interference. The group leaves as property owners exercising a recognized right to move, not as salvage or contracted labor, and retains the same right to leave its next home if it chooses.
