    perhaps there’s a alien civilization out there that’s done all this already that you can buy a colonization/uplift from. That might reasonably be a short if expensive order

    This.

    And if we’re speculating, why not go all the way and say we also don’t know it would be expensive. Who’s to say it would not cost, say, $15? Wouldn’t it be fun to get a Star Trek system for, like, so cheap that a kid could afford it?

    (I would make sure to read the fine print, though.)
