* ''[[Warrior Cats]]'' had this as the plot of the second series, after the original forest was destroyed to make way for a road.

* ''[[Traveller]]'' has a lot of these too. The Sword Worlds were the migration of soldiers from a previous regime on Terra who were stranded by their government's overthrow. The best sample campaign in the [[GURPS]] [[Traveller]] series, ''100 Parsecs'', is about a project for preserving the Sword Worlder way of life on a distant world. Aslan are always doing this as well.
** This is in some ways the second [[Planet of Hats|hat]] of the Aslan(the first is [[Proud Warrior Race]]). Aslan have a biological obsession with land and it is one of the main basis' for status. They regularly send out what they call ''Ihaiti'' fleets of colonists who settle on planets. Sometimes they do so by [[Asskicking Equals Authority|force]] and at other times they make a treaty with locals who have land to share. A classic treaty of this kind involves [[Hired Guns|military service]] for land.
* During the fall of the Star League in the backstory of [[Battle TechBattleTech]]; the Star League Defense Forces left (along with their families and anyone else who wanted to go) known space to prevent their weapons and soldiers from being used against the citizens of the Inner Sphere by the warring Great Houses. Their descendants, after a bit of a [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|cultural shift]], eventually migrated back with the objective to end the still ongoing wars through force.
