Keep in mind they GIFTED us the cluster exactly on the condition we'd defend it.

Okay, I really want to get one good use out of Mordin before he Retires, so I'm in favor of putting off terminus integration for a raid initiative. We can't neglect maroon sea, but it would be lame to earn a hero from the deep raid and never use them.
Definitely need to get a battle fleet to Maroon sea.
I don't think we'll be able to put off the terminus integration next turn? I thought it was a still locked in action from this turn, and we'll have to decide which kind of fleet we give them.

We can, since 2 of our raiding fleets freed up, we can send Mordin on a raid and Mira to handle the rest of the Integration. Should resolve those issues and we need to settle integration into the Terminus Alliance, we've got to make use of their fleets to hold the line and it should actually start letting us unify the bloody thing. Allies of convenience are great but if we're all busy butting heads we'll not get anywhere and fracture once the Rachni are no longer a threat.
Problem is we still have to get a permanent presence in the maroon sea set up, and that takes an action. And with the integration still taking an action, we'll not have one left for Raiding.
edit: word from discord says it'll be a new action, so we'd have the opportunity to choose not to take the integration action if we are willing to deal with the diplomatic/political issues that come with waiting.

The action has become an auto pass follow up action. Given Mordin Sentra's impending Retirement, I'm in favor of putting it off for a single turn to use the third and second fleets to carry out a strong raiding push. It would be a shame for Mordin to have become a hero unit in the deep raid only to never take the fight to Rachni again before his retirement(damn nearly failed occupation patrols. He could have been kicking Rachni ass these last two years.)

Agreed, one turn of heavy raiding it'll put the Rachni on the back foot and then we can work on integration, also it should earn us some browny points and it'll let our fleets have maybe a year or two of peace to work things out and get some upgrades in.
The question is do we hit Styx Theta or Shadow Sea in force or split each fleet up and try to give us some breathing room? Also, I think we leave Hades Gamma alone for now they'll probably have at least left that only lightly guarded after we raided it to hell and back. Though I doubt that'll last much longer.

We have one proposed write-in:
[ ][EXTINCTION] Bombard almost everything besides locations of particular value. While some locations the Rachni occupy hold value in mundane resources and infrastructure, they're nothing we can't replicate ourselves or get elsewhere with little issue. However a few places hold unique or extremely valuable resources that are absolutely worth the effort of taking by force such as Precursor ruins and significant Eezo deposits.
I have also edited this option for clarity:
[ ][MAROON] In force. All three raiding fleets are now coming off of patrol duties, and the 2nd Battle Fleet is held in Sentry Omega for situations that require a reserve, just such as this one. Send all of them to Maroon Sea while you figure out a more permanent solution. If the Rachni have decided they've smelled weakness, they'll be terminally disappointed.
Thus in all we have:

[ ][EXTINCTION] No extinction-level bombardments. One cannot un-bombard a planet. Some rocks will not be worth the retaking even once you have an army up to the task, but you don't know which ones those are without that army. Besides, the Occupation Fleet already massively reduces the costs of the occupation without needing to relieve it further. The policy stands.
[ ][EXTINCTION] Only bombard worthless rocks. You want to preserve anything you know to contain valuable resources or facilities, but there's no harm in scratching the worthless asteroids that the Rachni occupy purely to be a pain in the ass off the list.

[ ][EXTINCTION] Extinction. There will be other worlds. There will be other targets. You don't need these. Destroy them all. This option is very out of character for Mira. She has no ethical objection to it — again, she views them all as military targets who never negotiate or surrender — but the waste is unacceptable to her.

Hmm, well if it doesn't lock out our fleets from doing something next turn, maybe a write-in with a focus on us sending the 2nd battle fleet and 2 of our raiding fleets into the Maroon Sea with 1 of the raiding fleets in reserve, it'll be enough of a force to give the Rachni a bloody nose should they try something and a fleet in reserve will allow us to reinforce our territory if they try something.

[X][EXTINCTION] Only bombard worthless rocks. You want to preserve anything you know to contain valuable resources or facilities, but there's no harm in scratching the worthless asteroids that the Rachni occupy purely to be a pain in the ass off the list.
[X][MAROON] Conventionally. Deploy the 2nd Battle Fleet to Maroon Sea. Have one of your raiding fleets pick up patrol duties in Sentry Omega. That will provide a powerful deterrent to any attempts at moving in, and if the rachni try anyway, you should be able to hold long enough to bring in reinforcements.
[X][FAVOR] Ask for something on behalf of the Terminus Alliance, which they will pick, in exchange for one vote of your choice passed without a veto in the Council.
So, apparently, anything more than worthless rocks runs risk of destroying precursor facilities with neat tech/info as well as typical resources. Even clever write ins run this risk as we aren't going to always be able to tell from orbit what does and doesn't have these. Best just keep things simple and avoid destroying anything important.
Long-term, we can leverage this to get the Terminus support we need for even more military ship building expansion, or to define Terminus Alliance Ardak Yakshi policy, but thats a concern for later. For now, we need get a fleet to Maroon Sea, and throw a shiny for terminus to fight over.
Waiting on the Ardak Yakshi vote. Don't have one myself and want to check out what's available before I commit.

We've kind of pissed off the terminus alliance. Even Remnant took a hit. I feel the appropriate thing to do is deploy a battle fleet to defend the Relay, and throw the volus favor to the terminus alliance, so they'll be distracted from criticizing us with squabbling over how and where they use the Volus favor.

[X][MAROON] In force. All three raiding fleets are now coming off of patrol duties, and the 2nd Battle Fleet is held in Sentry Omega for situations that require a reserve, just such as this one. Send all of them to Maroon Sea while you figure out a more permanent solution. If the Rachni have decided they've smelled weakness, they'll be terminally disappointed.

If we pull this off, there will be a show in the future where a Mira-expy is in a poorly lit room and informs her slightly worried underlings that "It is all according to keikaku (TL note: keikaku means plan)."

[X][EXTINCTION] Bombard almost everything besides locations of particular value. While some locations the Rachni occupy hold value in mundane resources and infrastructure, they're nothing we can't replicate ourselves or get elsewhere with little issue. However a few places hold unique or extremely valuable resources that are absolutely worth the effort of taking by force such as Precursor ruins and significant Eezo deposits.
