This trip will take us through several other empires. If some of them closed their borders in the future, we could find ourselves cut off from being able to travel between the two parts of our empire. It's not likely, but it is a possibility.

Seems like an arbitrary issue where the game parameters are governed by semantics and some 2D rationalization. So, to be clear, when we crush the Uri and take several systems in what is currently their space (we'll call it the Uri Sector for the sake of argument), we may find a situation where we cannot jump from our space into the Uri Sector is we don't have a 2D line of sight through which we have all the travel rights? Even though we are jumping from one sector of our space to another sector of our space? If this is the case, Boojie needs to visit His wrath upon Paradox for thinking inside the box on this.
So, if I am correct here, rather than set up a situation where we may have a sector of our space cut off from the rest of our space, I guess Boojie's love must again visit the Bhenn'Thell. Focus on the section of Bhenn'Thell space that is closest to the Uri. We understand now that Boojie's tender mercies will require a corridor through which to visit the Uri. Let's start building it.
