You have decided to fully exploit Andoen II and its Azurium deposits. The wondermetal, useful for both its incredible material strength, heat resistance, and conductivity, is very plentiful underneath the rocky dunes of that distant planet. Given the fact that the extinct alien race on Andoen I used it for construction materials and those ruined cities still stand today only confirms your theories. However, because of the distance between the Andoen system and home, shipments of large transport vessels will be needed on a constant rotation. To boost efficiency- colonists will be sent along with the transport ships one way, the suspension pods offloaded, and then Azurium sent back home.
While the Hegemony has had access to small (in industrial units) amounts of Azurium in the past from the Baalathi capsules- only now with a full planet's worth of mining can you start using it on the large scale. It was too precious for use in Fusion reactors to do things like armor plating for ships or personal body suits except for the most elite of personnel. But now- you have finally gained a <span class="mu-s">reliable supply of Azurium</span>!
With a <span class="mu-i">reliable source</span> of any strategic resource, you can now supply one major industry, mega structure, or large scale military effort. Reliable sources are based on established political trade routes, large orbital bodies containing the resource, or some other method of collection within Hegemony borders that can be scaled up or down to meet the economy's needs.
But while the space age industry is about to take off in another solar system- back at home, another life is winding down. Kimnan II has reached his expiration date and is euthanized before the <span class="mu-s">GPCS</span> causes him any suffering. You are there with Eoba II, two Supreme Rulers overseeing the death of a very skilled pilot.
While Eoba II thought it would be wrong to give his brother preferential treatment, you had no hesitation in awarding Kimnan II a golden band before his death. He was the first Jaxtian to discover Starsight, afterall.
But this circumstance is sad for another reason. Eoba II isn't going to live much longer either, less then a decade at this point. As is tradition within the Hegemony- sons choose how to bury their fathers, and the previous Supreme Ruler is your father in spirit. Have you decided how you want to bury him?
