"Is it because once you conquer a solar system.....there is no way to get from there to any place else of significance." This may very well be true, given human lifespans and the speed of light being the universal speed limit. That's why every SciFi show taking place in space has some means of travel faster than the speed of light. This may be overly simplistic [and naive] thinking but I have to believe there has got to be some reasonable way to overcome this problem. After all, that has been our history.......we encounter a problem and we find a reasonable way to overcome it. Please note......reasonable means not inserting a human brain into a rocket
