Yes, the excess <span class="mu-i">Azurium</span> can be used for this. There's always a little of the stuff laying around in case the Supreme Ruler needs something special- or a new scientific test that needs to be done without having to worry about availability.

The <span class="mu-i">Azurium Drill</span> is forged in magnetic smelter and is about to be shipped off- we can finally crack this mystery planet. In the meantime; every Azurium shipment received from now on will go to building the great city now- and remains precious. You're going to have a busy few years given the mega projects and science frenzy going on in the Hegemony right now...

It's owner is one <span class="mu-i">Maktana Nanonae II</span>, is preparing for yet another journey far away from home. Being the head of science means constantly going away to investigate new phenomena- and now he is required to head to Swalli to catalog and study the last biomes of the planet before they are destroyed forever.
“Honey-” His wife says. “He did it today.”
<span class="mu-b">”Wh-Wha? Really!!! Where is he! Let me see!”</span>
