If there's good roleplay from an existing (official or not) NPC-enabled faction to move/expand onto a particular planet, and it doesn't conflict with the existing factions in the region I'd say its something we could consider from the dev side. In Kansas' case, Liberty has shown an interest in the planet - so a Libertonian faction such as OSC or Synthfoods moving on the planet could happen... but considering the remoteness of the region, pirate raids would be a severe threat.
Any such bases would not be player owned, they would become a part of the NPC faction, usable by anyone who can use bases of that faction. But keep in mind that there won't be any "pop, 2 million inhabitants" kind of planets becoming settled. An initial colony settlement should likely be below 50K people. A tenth of that if it's a mining outpost.
