What strikes me as odd is the fact that Kordholt (later Aricholt) is so far from Garados. They used it as base to hunt the Vord on Garados... makes no sense for it to be so far away.
But like I said before, the whole of Calderon deviates from how I pictured it myself.
I bet Jim did this on purpose... he wants to confuse us. :-)

They went to Aricholt because Aric came and said "I haz problems, helps plzthnks" and then they found it abandoned and vord-infested. After which they decided to press on, not because that was the best base but because it would take too long to go elsewhere. Necessity, rather than convenience.

My question is, why did the Vord, in setting up on Garados, ignore the 2 or 3 steadholts they had to go right past to GET to Aricholt in AF...

FRAK. Aricholt should be Aldoholt on my map.
As for why the vord chose to attack Aricholt in the first place, simple. It's the most isolated. The Queen is nothing if not opportunistic. Perhaps she considered it a test run. Then, with her forces swollen with a new army of Taken, she picked a more central location as her base of power, from which she could be poised to attack any other steadholt with ease.
