As a lurker who binge reads, can I just say that the jinchuuriki route never works out for anyone? Didn't work for Tapion either.
we still have time. Can Kakara at least ask what he'd like done with the alien prisoners? Bird dude was pretty intent on dying honorably rather than being captured. I mean, it'd be out of character for us to go Valentine Vegita on the dragon and execute them all in front of him, but legitimately, if they're willing to settle peacefully (and the planet doesn't seem like it's too overcrowded) and he can be fed with the occasional battle on the far side of the moon with angry people...
Just devil's devil's advocate.
While the dragon himself should still be sealed one way or another, he has a *fleet* of people in ships that are falling apart; in our position, we could just burn them and kill everyone aboard. He's focused on what we're doing to him, we're focused on what we're doing to him. His followers are refugees, even if they're organized to be an invading army. From the sound of it, the Core Worlds are kind of a MESS and we're out on the very fringe of the galaxy; the hard just get crushed under the harder. We're not really in a perfect position to handle who knows how many refugees, but while he's an egotistical jerk, so was literally every Rival Turned Frenemy other than, like, Yamcha and Krillin.
I'm not even casting an official vote for this (I am not a sockpuppet, and I'm a lurker who just binge read and recaught up after more than a year of absence; i'm not comfortable actually voting) but for all that this vote is a singular thing, Kakara's character was established fairly early as someone with a very strict view of Justice. As a compassionate person. For all that she's currently got an energy field larger than her head in her head, I feel like the little people might be a concern. Kakara is one of the pivotal figures in a race of Three Fold refugees, who had to flee their homeworld multiple times. Yeah, by the third time they grew out of it. But the first time they needed a new homeworld, they literally conquered a world out from under the native people and Xenocided them. The Second Time, their numbers were too low to bother Xenociding and they integrated. The third time, they integrated. This is a last, desperate, attempt by a dictator to find his people and himself a home after having their last one taken by people who BEAT the guy soundly. Expecting the myriad races shown among his people to seamlessly integrate is asking a bit much.
Vegita might be Renegade for Life, but it's Goku's way to forgive. There have been hints, since the beginning, that the invaders aren't invaders by choice; not nice people, certainly, but they're fleeing extinction. For all that Big Dragon Dictator is a Lawful Evil jerk, he's shown more than just small signs of having that spark of compassion and humanity. I expected, at some point, that Kakara would *ask* about his people, the forces up in space, and what he expects to have happen now.

) It could have been much worse if we had a war of sock puppets on our heads. Plus as others wrote it was caught quickly an cleanly.
