It's not just weapons uses that concern me. Making money is useful too and helpful in acquiring political power. Those laser acceleration schemes pretty much require owning the solar system.
If you really have to have the PCs getting to Alpha C through "normal" space travel rather than an arbitrarily located Pandora on the other side of a wormhole see if you can find a copy of David Pulver's Centauri Knights done for BESM for Guardians of Order. It's a little old now (though only a little older than Transhuman Space) and it'll be harder SF than anything you get off the internet.
