We don't have a lot at the lunar poles, even though ironically that's where you kind of want to put colonies IRL since that's where you're most likely to find water & suchlike. They don't need to be major craters either, just decent-sized ones. (It's important to remember that as of 2020ish the total population of Fenspace is around 10 million people, that's not quite the population of Seoul. At its heart, Fenspace is a series of small towns strung out over billions of miles of wilderness. Cool, huh?)
As for settling elsewhere, I wouldn't recommend the Kuiper unless the whole "eternal night!" thing is part of the plan. Though that'd be kind neat tbh. I could see a neo-Equestrian movement carving out an exclave with the other groups on Planet Hippie Gallifrey, too.
The kupiters do provide a lot of space, and more importantly: lots of primordial organic compounds and volitiles to work with. It'd be a crusader idea to claim Eris, completely enclose it--"It'd be a darn sight easier to work with if ya ain't got to worry 'bout yer atmosphere running away from ya."--, and then use a giant... something or another to heat the interior and let them build Neo Equestria inside. Suffice to say, totally an insane idea that'll be a boondoggle to impliment, but stubbron pride keeps them going. Eventually. It'd be their long-term end goal so they don't step on other people's toes/hooves in the long run when the population starts expanding majorly over the next half-century.
