I don't think it was?
All he says is clear majority, and actually he specifies the non-thanagarians need to vote too (aka the lizardkons).
Here he makes it even more explicit, as long as she's done before it's signed she's fine.
Nearly. The Thanagarian Empire imported the population and trained them as soldiers with the intent of having them be the force occupying Antares.
A plebiscite is a direct universal vote.
That makes it even more amusing that things have blown up in the face of the Thanagarian Empire so badly. Will we be seeing an omake from someone else's POV to underline how bad things have gotten for them?
The fact it wasn't right outside their capital city means they were trying to hide it and have no one but themselves to blame.
Not certain where Vulcan stands on the "Why would god need a starship?" issue, but I suspect Hyathis could not compel his service by force. She gets to make him an offer but can always say no.
Eh, there might have been local features that made that planet better... But sending oppressed conscripts there in numbers that high, when Hyathis can clearly get there faster than news can get out? Yeah, some of that might just be how things go... But all of it together seems to betray a certain carelessness.
He left Earth to try something new. He has no loyalty to Thanagar at all and was happy simply making Nth metal for the challenge of doing so. The fact that the ones who'll be buying it from him is someone else now doesn't matter to him whatsoever.
I think you've misunderstood the chapter. The Thanagarian army in the system Paul was in didn't know it was taking place, there's nothing about the Thanagarians local to the planet not being able to vote or not knowing about it. They were just outnumbered.
To occupy the worlds of Antares. There wouldn't be much point in using them to occupy Thanagar.
This part is correct, though she may have sent her followers to other worlds near that colony as well.
This is way off. She won the war of the Antares system, but she still has to deal with managing three different species who've been waging war on her species for years now. Earth is nowhere close to doing anything about space politics when it's still rebuilding, and probably still won't even after it's finished. Plus the fact that the Vega system is nearby so Hyathis will need to watch out for the Crown Imperium. Also, there are no J immigrants, just traders. So Hyathis still has a lot of work to do.
That seems like a step back from "eliminating the cult of the seven devils"
