I think you need to go generic SF or totally ignore Transhuman Space's hard science limits and background history. They just aren't going to fit into what you want.
If you don't want to quite go that far you need to do something just maybe possible like have a wormhole between TS and and Pandora appear out of the black. No reason to put Pandora at Alpha C in this case.
Oh, and don't stick the Solar System's wormhole terminus 750 AU out like the one in Blue Planet. That's too far away to be practical too.
