I think that the thing that was meant to save earth, uncovered it, the cole protocol.
I would imagine that many ships used the cole protocol and escaped or were chased down and killed, slaughtered, murdered...
Well, if enough ships went in different directions away from earth, maybe the covies figured that the humans are leading them AWAy from earth. So if they took into account all of the search and destorykills they made and what direction the humans were going, they could REVERSE the human ships' flight(if they were going east, the covies go west) and see one common point that all the humans ships were going AWAY from. So if 4 ships, each going in the four cardinal directions, were leading away from the center of the compass(EARTH), people who were trying to find "earth" would reverse the ships flight. In other words, if a ship is going east and another west and another north and another south, they could reverse their directions and find a common vertex.
