You can only send 2-3 people over with very limited equipment, if they survive the flight at all. Why would you waste those precious spaces with marines who would not be able to do anything thanks to being very outnumbered and reliant on very limited equipment?And before they can even plan a manned mission they need probes. Lots of probes. To confirm the spectral analysis that there is indeed water on the planet, to analyze the atmosphere, to analyze the soil and plant life if it is indeed useable for human consumption, to scout potential landing sides, to keep an eye on the natives, etc. And each probe will likely take a year to build and another year to reach Toril and to perform its duties, maybe more.</blockquote>
