[X] Ship Repairs: Priority Yard Time. Put your less than fully ready vessels into the shipyards for two weeks and order absolute priority for their refurbishment. Two weeks would not normally be long enough to significantly impact things but you will have one of the best yards in the empire working triple shifts and Alfheim is able to outright build a heavy cruiser in a year. Also you will load up with parts to continue refits underway. (+20% Readiness to every ship, the admiral will be annoyed but this is the kind of thing your Imperial Priority is supposed to permit).
[X] Marines: Take Them All. Completely fill the marine compliment of every vessel, this would involve ripping apart over two divisions worth of marines and... Actually not impact the number of marines kept at Rimward Fleet Command that much. There are a lot of battleships full of marines here as well as a significant garrison and one of the main training centres. (Refill all marine compliments. (Spend 30 Political Capital, normal cost 120 for this many marines, annoy the admiral.)
[X] Crew: Heavy Recruitment. Open the gates to voluntary transfers from Rimward Fleet ships. All of the crew from your recent 'adventures' are now fantastically rich, you can expect tens of thousands of volunteers. Take the best of them but not too many. (+2 Crew Grade to every ship, annoy the admiral and all of the captains as you take their best crew).
[X] Crew: Poach Veterans. You will use your priority to pull up service records then take a moderate but significant number of able spacers and mid ranking NCOs along with capable lieutenants (+1 Crew Grade to every ship. This will not please the admiral but he cannot actually blame you, he might even appreciate your restraint. But does he already hate you?).

[X] Marines: Top Up. Be more moderate, take half that many marines, showing your moderation and restraint. (Raise Battleships to Marines 5, refill the Huitzilopochtli, raise each Light Cruiser to Marines 2. Fail to ruffle any feathers or need to shout at anyone).
[X] Ship Repairs: Cannibal Time. You have orders to get these ships to the Throne World for the Empress to see. They need to be pristine, the nodal reserve at Rimward Fleet Command does not need to be pristine. Order maximum priority yard time for two weeks and if parts are not available? They will be made available even if this means stripping vessels undergoing refit or stealing yard workers to fly away aboard your vessels and continue work (+1 Crew Grade, +30% Readiness every vessel. Really antagonise the admiral and other senior officers. Will not make ships Elite grade. -50 Political Capital).
