Perhaps there could be unexpected synergy in one or more of the human prisoners and alien science/knowledge.

Stardrive plus captured conveyor plus gadgeteer --> FUN!

The "aliens" might be genuine aliens, human in rubber suit aliens, or even genuine humans thrown across time and space long ago, settling a distant world involuntarily. That negative space wedgie, caused by someone, somewhen experimenting with unobatanium/a god in a mood/whatever could even be why Coventry is so hard to reach. Will the space-twisting of hyperspace drives open Coventry to other means of access? Close it off completely?
