I am sure it is a question of military doctrine, decided by the council. Without an explicit council permission a specific admiral will not use exterminatus weapons in a space fight even if it a sound tactical decision much like modern US general will not use tactical nukes when it's beneficial to do so.

I wonder if we can make our own discount attack moons with Muspelheim floating city thingies...

My one silver lining out of this is that we might get a peek at sub space. It's a long shot, but non chaos ftl should be investigated and Dolman's gate and webway are out.
I actually have a theory about the sub space maybe it uses the same method as blink spider going through the infinitely small space between reality and warp.
durin told us to think of them as discount craft worlds so sorta.
It's uncertain. It's entirely possible beta telepath will do. Space Marines of ex-same chapter should have a strong psychic link that could help just enough for the communication to work. Maybe they could notice G&M awakening this soon by themselves but Ridcully only managed to glimpse that on a natural hundred, so I doubt it.

I wonder what a Troll hive would look like with their abilities to move through stone? I imagine it would weird as shit with dead ends everywhere Trolls just dropping through the floor instead of stairs.

Hmmm that seems like something we might be able to take advantage of
And I say not to risk it.
Ridcully was able to divine across the galaxy with an ultramarine catalyst, but what you want is to send an astropathic transmission to literal far side of the galaxy again we are in pacificus they are in Ultima we are in the west and they in the east.
That reminds me @Durin
1. How close to the galactic rim are we?

We are not going to be petty and they have the second largest fleet in the trust.

Nah, we can afford to be a bit petty. The more the conservatives fuck up, the easier it will be for Olaf to regain power.
Yeah, but let's incorporate some local cheers, chants and inspirational quotes of notable Avernites in our warding scheme. Rotbart paintings too, if possible.

No.
Now is not the time to be petty.
If they are we can hammer them for it later and look good for not being petty.

For this delayed order we kinda deserved it so responding would be pretty dumb, if the new leader institutes unreasonable delays in future orders then responding in careful moderation could dissuade them from taking similar action in the future. Being petty is damaging but being a doormat is just as damaging.

It helps that this is also in character for avernites
No we did not deserve it. They are being morons who are sensitive over the souls of Chaos worshipers. Just because a position is common does not grant it any intrinsic merit. In this case the position of the "conservatives" is sheer unmitigated stupidity of the same kind that destroyed the Imperium.

He refers to our spies campaigning for the Quartok.
That brought the last delay and we kinda did deserve it for meddling on their planet.

Eeeer mate that was about the quartok where due to bad luck we did kinda screw up. ''Twas dumb, but fair enough
I thought he meant the delay they will give us for this disagreement. Yeah that one was deserved.

They haven't delayed anything yet... in fact I don't even think we've commissioned anything from them at the moment.
Good on them. Give it another millennia and it might be worth making them a protectorate species.
Wonder if they have decided what beauty is yet. Perhaps we should trade art with them. Maybe put them in touch with the Quartok?
We are going to end up building our own battleships aren't we?
Sigh, I was really hoping to avoid paying for a colossal shipyard.
