I thought about some of the problems of using the nexus as a military
jumping point.  The problem is if the little guy with the flute is not
cooperative, nobody is going to be able to get back from where they
started.  They can come to Red Dirt but they are not going to be able to
get back (unless the priest can be bought).  Of course, this assumes
that the priest has a sense of right and wrong and not a "vending
machine" style actor.
