Your next <span class="mu-s">Expansion Wave</span>, namely, into the Hazaar cluster. The former HVS states, already cleaned up and nicely marked with territory beacons, yet remain criminally underutilized. You've been so busy with the life vaults, the return of the subject races, and others that you haven't had time to properly begin your expansion.
Of course, it's important to remember that your species is not overpopulated by any metric anymore; with so many habitable worlds, giant city-planets notwithstanding, you have no real need to expand to these worlds. They are as of now simply sitting vacant, cleaned of intelligent life, only a skeleton crew of scientists and military members securing the borders from encouragement by independent forces. This is why the concerns of the budget have no impact on you; you know that whenever the Hegemony expands to many territories and colonies; the economic boon and growth will quickly destroy any outstanding debts and downturns. Just like when Eoba II expanded the Hegemony into its local cluster...
However, <span class="mu-i">because of your expenditures</span>, you don't exactly have the budget to fund these expeditions and full colonization of every world and planet. And there are a lot of them.
"The Hazaar were quite skilled in biotechnology, at least in the past before the Baalathi destroyed them, and left behind many habitable planets. While their tolerance level was higher then Jaxtians and the other species your control, it should be noted that the Hazaar systems contain seven habitable planets, and even more semi-habitable moons, so called "life moons" capable of supporting special gene-selected life forms underneath their crust, which could in turn support a small population. Not to mention the various untapped strategic resources. The Hazaar did not seem to have the knowledge of Azurium, BAG, OR the Celestial Blood, meaning if they have any of these resources in their systems, they likely did not exploit them at all." Threemind informs.
"Now, your Majesty, how do you wish to prospect these worlds for their riches? This is YOUR plunder, after all. No conqueror simply leaves his enemies lands fallow..."
