The third and final choice is to <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">defend</span></span> your colony to the bitter end. Don't take the fight to them, just continue to hold and let them burn through their resources and morale until the fight has left them. This option is by far the easiest of the three, as you know your relatively small but elite fleet could take on waves upon waves of lesser foes- and the defender always has the moral high-ground. Playing a war on the defensive would have a small but noticeable impact on Jaxtian morale and willingly to “excel” in your society due to a stronger sense of patriotism. Your people won't revolt against you no matter how poorly the war goes in any case, as you are their only means of existence in this vast and hateful universe, but knowing that the Supreme Ruler is the shield defending their people from the twisting claws of capitalist and foreign evil will make the “cult” of the Supreme Rulership even more all consuming.
What will be your goal for this conflict?
