Dear a1candidate,

In that case the closest habitat is on Earth.

How far would I have to travel (in terms of light years?) in order to meet or interact with the nearest main homeland of any group (or groups) of extraterrestrials, based on the above assumptions?

Approximately eight light years, with increased habitat pockets from between twenty and fifty light years, presuming that you are trying to single out bipedal hominoid intelligences.
