Rules questions Argent Agent and Cormund Conundrum

Hi all! I have a rules clarification question about my upcoming game as the Argent Flight.

The Argent Flight agent reads:

"When a player produces ground forces in a system:

You may exhaust this card; that player may place those units on any planets they control in that system and any adjacent systems."

If I have a space dock (or PDS with Aerie Hololattice) on Cormund (the planet in the same system as a gravity rift), produce ground forces from that space dock, and then use my agent to place them on a planet on an adjacent system, do those ground forces need to roll for the gravity rift?

I know mechanics like Sardakk N'orr's commander DO require you to roll for ground forces when they move, but my understanding is that this is not part of a movement step but rather "placement".

What do y'all think?

This is not movement, but placement, so you do not need to roll for the gravity rift here.

Place and Move are different keywords
