A few things to talk about here. For starters, there's a very good reason why the three Raeshael just give Cerise what she wants. She has full authority over all of the delegates. She is perfectly capable of just muting someone or excising them from the chambers for a time if they refuse a genuine request. The Family could have just snubbed Anon if they wanted because there is no legal basis for her to require that information from them. With Cerise it's different. She's effectively asking the Raeshael empire as a whole if they are sending anything that would imperil the station.

Especially when you consider the military might the station has at its disposal. Every system with a delegate has to supply one warship. Google-fu says there are about 133 systems within 50 light years. And that's about the size of each empire, give or take. And granted, not all systems will have a delegate, but we're still talking about something that can throw a few hundred warships after any cause. And if they get approval from the delegates, those will send additional warships. So not something you can just take lightly.

Finally, one thing to remind everyone since it's been so long, station gravity is much lower than earth gravity. Fozneta's gravity is at about 33% that of earth's. There are a few reasons for this, partly to be sufficient for everyone.
