You've found little fault in their conduct so far and don't believe their shared institution is a true democracy, or at least, enough of one to warrant pacification. They are worth reaching out towards, and you have the tools to do so.
At your command, the Circle of Oligarchs is sent a bundle of data- starcharts of the Empire's most recent economic shipping lanes, and of supply and demand throughout imperial space. If they don't see fit to continue their long-standing isolation, they may be able to increase their prosperity while contributing some small part to the memory of old Earth. If they do, it will serve as a gesture of trust.
You have your subordinates put together a polite suggestion that the Circle of Oligarchs consider legitimizing themselves in nobility. As things stand, they're a nebulous group of petty micro-states without any aristocratic ground to stand on. If they want to earn the respect of the Major Houses, they'll need to consider some degree of reform. You do not hold their poverty against them. It is not the circumstances of wealth or prestige that make a noble, it is their strength of will and ineffable right, and duty, to lead the ignorant masses below them to a far greater whole they ever could've accomplished on their own.
Last, you let them know that you would be grateful for any support they're willing to spare, though your cargo holds are full and it is in no way urgent. You are surprised to learn that Notrabo is not lacking in supplies. Far from it, the brunt of their ocean planet is dedicated to aquaculture, ostensibly for tribute, with a sheer, bulk-output that rivals that of any imperial core world. The variety is scant but these generous tons of frozen shrimp and saltwater cod are appreciated, nonetheless.
