“It's about the Hazaar. The newly found Hazaar vassal states.”

“I know, I know. You put me in charge of things back home- but as this has to do with your Reconquistia, and you're better suited to this political stuff then me, I am unsure how to advise Bluey on setting things up over there.”
<span class="mu-b">”What is the issue?”</span>
“It's not a problem- moreso just an open question. You see, Hegemony space is marked with territory beacons; that's how all FTL species do it. But the Hazaar space is newly conquered and still in no-man's land. Most species probably believe it is still under Baalathi control. The question is this; should we set up territory beacons of the Hegemony there? Doing so will essentially publicly announce that we own the systems. We may appear as violent expansionists, and may be considered more of a threat simply from the size of owning two star clusters then just one; but at the same time, it may also protect the fledgling state from unwarranted aggression.”
<span class="mu-b">”And what of the Overseer?”</span>
“Oh, Bluey very much wants to fly the Hegemony colors, so to speak. He's been pinging me almost every day requesting territory beacons be manufactured and sent to him via FTL freight. I've been dragging my feet on such an important decision because I'm unsure- I think I'll rely on your input instead. Should we mark this territory as under Hegemonic control?”
Publicly and officially marking the newly created Hazaar vassal state underneath the Hegemony would be a landmark in your species history- and to your reign. But at the same time, there are some minor reasons as to why it may be best to avoid- you'll have to go with your gut on this one.
>Mark the Territories and officially expand your empire
>Deny Bluey's request for a while longer
