You want to give Bluey a chance to lead the charge- if only as a reward for his many years long service the Hegemony. You imagine he's probably dreamed of this day for a long time- taking back what he considers his “homeland” as a Hazaar, but Jaxtian in mind and spirit- a newly forged Hegemony controlled Hazaari race...
But you have to be sure first. You order your technicians to read in on what the Baalathi gas giant's gas compositions.
