I would say the latter, since we don't know of spacecraft in the canon RWBYverse. Besides, it cuts down on the possibilities of other non-Vytal characters. Are they like the doctor and his granddaughter in the original doctor who series? Except, of course, they aren't related and apparently hate eachothers guts. Not a Whovian (A Tolkienite/Smallfolk), so I wouldn't know.

I guess (I'm sort of making up this Angren/Maki backstory up as I go) Angren has a lot of pretty sinister skeletons in the Oromardi closet, and he was pretty much run off the planet, whereupon he became an interplanetary explorer. Maki was also exiled, but much more recently--and while she recognizes Angren (from his criminal past), he doesn't know who she is.

On Vytal, Maki basically continued what she was doing on Oromardi, which is what got her arrested in the first place.
