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.

To put it shortly, I do not think that extremely expensive, limited access to the neighboring Solar system in 20+ year long trips is more unrealistic and soft SF than the greening of Mars.
