Maybe use some sort of gateway device like the Mass Relays from Mass Effect? They can fling you to another relay almost instantly, but you need your own propulsion to go anywhere else.

So you have a linked pair between your two inhabited stars and nobody has found a way to the third one. The third star might have a dormant relay, or the players would have to build one when they got there. There could be a lot of questing involved in the new system to try and find the resources or knowledge to make a relay in the first place.
