Because we're trying to RP appropriately for our size, for one thing. We don't have the numbers in-RP to even attempt a full-scale hostile takeover. Crayter is certainly one of the lesser powers compared to the Houses, but they're still more established than NO. Also they haven't done anything to provoke actual hostility.
But, eh, the attempt had to be made. I've got other ideas for getting further established, of course - Tau-37's pretty nice this time of the decade - but lore-wise those are two somewhat run-down stations because of past invasions. Hell, Minato's model still has several broken bits.
