(Story Time!)
Homins are curious creatures, always thirsting for discovery. We yearn to know more about our own past, much of which was lost, in spite of the Karavan telling us to forget all about it. We also constantly search for new resources, or perhaps to find anyone who may have been lost during the Great Swarming, if it is even possible anyone is still out there.
Kitin constantly move about, always on the hunt for new resources. Whether they must find an existing, navigable path or whether they must dig new paths, they are always on the move. Separate entities though they are, they appear to act with a singular purpose: the colony must grow, it must thrive. We just accidentally got in their way; it was destined to happen sooner or later (though later would have been much better).
If we want any hope of a chance to combat the Kitin armies, we need to know what they're doing. We need to track their movements. If possible, we need to disrupt their activities and defeat some of their leaders and commanders.
At the same time, we know the Kitin swarmed over the lands we used to call home. They were the last ones to come into contact with relics of our past, our heritage. Could they have knowingly or unknowingly taken anything with them?
We know the Kitin will often dig new passageways to accomplish their goals, and then collapse them afterwards. If we were to find any of these collapsed passages and carefully re-open them, we might find Kitin Sites.
If we send capable forces into these Kitin Sites, perhaps we can begin to disrupt the Kitin activities, claim their resources for our own purposes, and maybe defeat Kitin leaders on a smaller scale than what we saw in the Great Swarming.
We only need to start digging. It is impossible to tell what we might find!
