If referring to someone by their role, it is usually lowercase (your mom, the professor, the commander). If referring to them by their title, it is uppercase (Mom, Professor Moriarty, Commander Shepherd).Gallant said:
The exception would be if the role/title was the person's name, which is sort of what made me double-take since the Envoy isn't the one being addressed or referred to there. And, with both the Abwehran and Iroma claiming the title in addition to the Freespacer, I think references should include the nation the referred-to envoy represents.
Not to mention the Abwheran are probably aware of how the Mishhuvurthyar exterminated the entire Sangriat race from the Ahrbeg system which is very close the Jaspis, despite the Sangriat not being involved with Yamatai or being threatening.

Actually, since the Abwehrans had barely had any contact with the Sangriat (if any at all) they probably don't know it was them exactly. But they probably know that a few species have been killed off.
Doshii, regarding the map, Nepleslia's maximum territory only went out to the 60 light year circle from Yamatai. So Yamatai's shipping lane to the KMS is not in Nepleslian space and has never been Nepleslian space.

Iris only goes where she's invited.
Speaking of parties, what do you think of the Yamataian military holding a little party sometime during the conference? It would be open to the diplomats and corporate bigwigs and would involve, food, drink, and starship tours.
I think Gallant's idea has some merit, but up to this point Yamatai has considered its military technology to be top secret — only when the Neko started being constructed with DNA did those Neko stop dissolving at the drop of a genetic scan.
I think such tours, in general, are just out-of-character for Yamatai. They're boastful with actions, not wine-and-cheese affairs.

Why do it now?
Yamatai — specifically Yuumi — is trying to present a different face of Yamatai, one that shows it's growing up and getting serious about working with other people, not intimidating them.

It's meant to show just how powerful and advanced and lethal Yamatai can be. That's not the image Yuumi is trying to craft with the others, and besides which, they already know Yamatai has very advanced technology.
The Iroma won't even reveal the location of their homeworld. We're not here to build the kind of trust that involves revealing deep secrets — we're working on just being OK with working and living next to each other.
