Garibaldi wanted to help, so he did.
"As you can imagine, the Federation can not officially help you in any way. However, unofficially, we can and will help. Starfleet has a few old outposts that may suit your needs. We still maintain them, just in case we need them, but currently we don't. I can see to it that you and your people have access to them. They are spartan, but they can provide quiet shelter where you can regroup, hide, whatever. Then there is Dultar..."
Garibaldi mentioned the proposed new home for the Venasians for two reasons. First was to see just what reaction 'Theran' would have, and second, to personally convey the offer that Admiral Lasiter had made already. That Venasian refugees, pilgrams, whatever, may use the planet to colonize until the Venasian government can formally accept it. It would provide a good base, especially with the Federation and the Diplomatic Council members willing to defend it...
"We would appreciate the use of your outposts. We only use our safehouses for a short time before abandoning them, but this can help for at least a little while longer. The number of refugees is decreasing now, anyway, as the opposing colonies have mostly been eradicated and the situation on Tkuka has started settling down.
"As for Dultar, most Venasians currently do not want to go near the planet. Most of them believe there is lapizine in the water, and those that believe A'amon doctored the survey results won't dare take initiative against A'amon. You should be warned that A'amon plans to take the planet by force, and while he may not be able to match the combined forces of the Council planets, he will be able to put a sizeable dent in your forces, especially with his new ship designs. Many lives will be lost, Admiral."
