If we get to a point where we can acquire a planet and hurl it in a specific direction with meaningful speed, then we must’ve developed enough to also keep the planet livable long enough.

Well if you’re gonna do that, you might as well have it accompany a star to give it energy for that journey.

Add a gas giant or two (or 4) to protect it against incoming space debris and help stabilize orbits.

Add some neighboring rocks to also help with that + give them extra material to use once they arrive.

Implant ideas of leaving the rock and coming from a place of great power into the colony’s generational memory.

Include some infrastructure to aid them.

This scenario looks oddly familiar.

Less than a flash in the physical history of this world. Crazy!
