Once before they had been pointed to Kalthor as a planet to take over. Now an Imperial emissary had personally instructed them to take the planet within two weeks - or else. What was so special about Kalthor . The planet was big and busy and really too much for them to handle right now. Trouble still at their base and Rigel 3 hardly secured. Plus there was the truth that if they were able to take control of Kalthor , the planet would lose all its freight services, leaving them in control of a planet that would slowly wither without freight. But Cal had to look. See if there was a way forward. Maybe a quiet chat to the planet President and a simple changeover of control without upsetting too many other people. Be better than a full-frontal blaster attack.
