The second expedition group did not come directly to Fjord Town like the first group. Although this area is currently the most developed region of the Northern Territory, expanding the Northern Territory is not about "slowly" expanding outward along the already developed areas, at least not in Perfikot's planning.
There are no inherent limitations to expansion, but to spread the construction of shelters as widely as possible in the Northern Territory in the shortest amount of time, and to build more shelters, it is essential to establish as many settlements as possible and spread their range wide enough.
Because each settlement will eventually become a shelter.
Thus, Perfikot obviously cannot allow them to still disembark at Fjord Town but instead has them open a second landing point. This way, expansion could simultaneously unfold at both the first landing point, Fjord Town, and the second landing point, doubling the speed of expansion at least.
