ysabetwordsmith and I plotted out some of this, and a couple of poems resulted: "The Beginning of Great Enterprises" described the opening of discussion with the Orion Arm, and "The Ones Between" similarly covers discussion with the Carina Arm. It also mentions that the Orion Arm is ready to recognize the Lacuna as an independent buffer state, essentially wanting similar recognition from the Carina Arm before confirming recognition. "Fortifications of the Future" has more relevant stuff. And there's one more I haven't been able to locate yet, about V working out from Orion ship and personnel movements that they aren't going into the Lacuna any more, and deciding it was time to head out.
I'd also like to see more on this line. Carina's more centralized government is more comfortable with top-down authority, and has been having a hard time understanding that nobody in the Lacuna wants military forces of any kind in their territory, and that has everyone there feeling responsible for keeping that status quo. And they don't like authority figures, anyway.

It's been awhile since we visited the Lacuna
