If the jump points are orbiting like an object (and a highly concentrated, stable collection of energy does have effective mass), then you can just put the station in the same orbit but behind by a few degrees. Very little to no station keeping thrust required, doesn't depend on any lagrange point business.

If the jump points aren't in regular orbits and are instead doing something weird like being dragged by a hyperspace reference frame, then its a good thing that Starsector seems to be at a tech level ships have infinite delta v in system!

That's probably the salient point here. In-system travel is not only FTL but virtually free.

My guess is that 'drive fields' are basically warp bubbles. Tri-Tachyon's faction description mentions 'warp drives', assuming it's not a mistake (i.e. meant to be 'hyperdrives').

Perhaps there are still very ancient ships out there that are warp-capable but not hyperspace-capable, still slowly making their way to the Persean sector...

The first expedition indeed has not arrived. The second expedition is arriving now(ish) (its the derelict drones) and the third expedition had already arrived and put in the gates which allowed everyone to get here.
