The Rin can't have a rouge colony or state made out of rebels. That only shows the state as weak and leads to even more rebellions. The Rin's policy is to stamp out such rebellions with violent force to serve as an example and as a fear tactic.

Now how much time it takes the Rin to attack the colony after rebellion depends on distance and urgency (Also depends on how long the State could keep the rebellion a secret) DD, you don't understand! I'm saying that the Greenbelters aren't necessarily a weak-ass bundle of rags for the Rin to kick around! Contrary to what you seem to think, the Rin can't just willy-nilly control whatever they want! Other people can be powerful two, you know!
