Max forwarded all of the essential data that they had collected during their journey back to Rae 5 command as well and got an interesting reply from the Reavers.
There were a lot of displaced people in the Galaxy and even more who were living in overpopulated conditions on planets that had just joined the Trade Group.
Terminus had encountered dozens of star systems that were already habitable, extremely rural, and uninhabited. If they could confirm that at least one of those was unclaimed and suitable, the Reavers could begin building cities on the planets and charge relocation fees to send tens of millions of refugees there to start a new life.
It was a substantial monetary opportunity, but it was also a chance to spread humans to this side of the Galaxy in much larger numbers than they currently claimed over the next few decades.
