On the subject of colonization, the new world found in Pavagh is beyond our capability militarily, and is a small world as well(12 max. pop). So it would be a long-term target at best. On the other two, here's what was said before:

This would extend our range 'up' and to the right, allowing us to develop mining stations in Leesak before too long and Hodranus probably later. It might be close enough to Leesak to extend sensor range there in case anyone crosses the galactic arm in this direction, but it might not. We aren't sure on this matter.
** Leesak IIb is the largest of three significant moons surrounding it's planet, yet it is still of considerable size at 19(13). Lots of toxic kelp, so our ability to get the most out of it would hinge on finding a way to deal with that. 5(3) food, 3(2) energy, 9 minerals, 7(4) research. Lots of building materials here, and Corperial would love it -- six of the seven research are things that would benefit the Society Dept. Strategically, the main value of this system is that it would provide constant surveilance as an early-warning area on the edge of the nebula by the galactic arm. Additionally, it would also allow us to develop more off-world resources. Aside from the colony itself, there are recommended locations for six stations totalling 6 energy and 7 minerals. Until our territory encompasses Leesak however, we can't develop it and we don't yet have the resources to place an outpost here. Norgon would eventually allow us to claim them, but colonizing Leesak directly would get that done sooner.

To this I'll add two things. Leesak is the only known source of Troutstones, and also is a world known for it's Natural Beauty(+5% Habitability, +15% Happiness).
Question for
Inquisitor Roe Laren and anyone else who might care to weigh in at this point. Are we going to save up for the colony ship right away, or share that priority with any continued military spending(i.e., spaceport for Bakangi) or developing the new territories(Ambisia and surrounding systems, Impal Tov, hopefully Wollaeus soon).
