Hence my inclusion of “with the caveat of them needing to submit to bioadaption in many cases” - I don’t see them giving anyone much of a choice when they’ve already deployed bioadaption tech. Hell, back before this final phase of the invasions began, they kidnapped entire colonies worth of people to test this technology on, moving them to harsh environments and forcibly bioadapting them to presumably endure the conditions - which would be a tease of the ressonably expected cascading biosphere collapses of temperate planets in Final Lim systems due to continually dropping temperatures in the darkening sunlight.
It’s not some benevolent action, but perhaps more of a conservation effort - forcing those who don’t actively oppose their presence into a kept-living state where they still have the opportunity to “prove themselves” at some point in the future. The reports by a pro-trig group (I’d presume Intriguerre) that some populations are “Being Given the Means to Prove Themselves and Join the Flow” - alongside other reports of supporters eroding, infiltrating, and collapsing resistance efforts - might perhaps be one evidence-example of proving the direction of their flow.
Your reports from Skarkon certainly support the idea that these efforts may be somewhat haphazard and decidedly not some main priority in the wake of invasions, perhaps having been originally suggested as a side effort by a bleeding-heart Triglavian group within the whole.
