Your Majesty, my Lords and Ladies, and of course, Sir Andrew. I have been thinking, indeed, thinking with most devious intent. I have discovered the perfect solution to several of our problems, and all it will take to solve them is a little time, and a little co-operation.
As you all know, the situation in Dublin is ever precarious, what with ragamuffin Mollies, irate miners, assorted drunks, and a vast plethora of potato-eaters, what! Although they have, on occasion, banded together with Her Majesty's most Loyal forces in order to expunge the noodle-munchers, I do believe I have found a better purpose. A purpose that will let them cast off the sins of a prior life, and live with pride, as upright and Loyal citizens of the Empire.
Those rather dastardly of Her Majesty's subjects, especially those of whom may have found themselves in Her Majesty's Prisons, shall flock to this offer in droves, unless I miss my guess....
In addition, Her Majesty's most Loyal planet, Gaia, and it's so-called 'protectors', may have use as well. Even those tree-hugging, poorly-groomed hippies may yet serve their nation proudly! Yes Indeed, why not use them, for although they preach of peace, they are but men, and furthermore, men who have seen the sharp end, and survived.
My plan is simple, yet elegant. Her Majesty's most loyal shipping company, Bowex, provides a plethora of transports. Hey Majesty's most Loyal Armed Forces provide an escort, as well as guards for the transports. Her Majesty's most loyal Privateers, although currently in exile, shall provide suitable landing zones and scout for the dastardly KNF.
And what of the scum, the drunk, the doper, the rebel? Why, we shall make them a simple offer, I say! And the offer is this:
We shall, of course, expect them to eliminate the Yellow Menace on Her Majesty's new colony, before they settle it. However, for these thieves, rebels, and brigabands, I suspect that shall not prove an issue. I shall leave the rounding-up of Transport and Troops in your most capable hands, and begin selecting landing sites and routes.
Forever yours,
-Lord (In Exile) Sir Reginald Notworthy the Third, Queen`s Champion, Bearer of the Golden Sickle, Keeper of the Royal Liquor Cabinet, and Her Majesty`s Most Loyal Privateer.

Any man, woman, hermaphrodite, eunuch, transsexual, or child who agrees to be transshipped to Her Majesty's new Colony of Kyushu, and Does their Part to extinguish the Yellow Menace, shall be forgiven all crimes, and shall be granted lands (or, perhaps some kind of cubicle on a station) to Farm, Build, Burn, or Extort as they will, on Her Majesty's Colony on the planet Kyushu.
