I've made 4 forts on one world save, retiring each one to the mercy of worldgen after I've gotten them as developed as possible, and each one has since been invaded by overwhelming droves of goblin. The queen of my civilization and her posse suddenly moved to my current fort because of this, and the one she got kicked out of is now home to ~2000 goblin inhabitants. How am I realistically supposed to fix this in (preferably) short order? A loyalty cascade already feels inevitable due to the sudden influx of new nobles, and I don't want my fort to tank with my monarch and numerous other important nobles inside to be killed and replaced with more goblins.

That sounds something like what happened to this guy...

I play a modded game with multiple races playable, so I've never known how it works in vanilla, can you still unretire your forts that the goblins have taken over?

You might want to start a fort in an inaccessible location (like an island, or if you can find an embarkable spot enclosed by mountains, etc.)  and make it into your new mountainhome. As far as I know, impasable terrain deters NPC sieges.
