Wasn't eh also involved in some kind of mystical ritual in one of the earlier Tales? Maybe I've mixed it up with something else, it's been rather a long time since I read them.
Other than that, how is he a threat to their fleet, anyway? He's one dude, with one VF, and is currently barely conscious as he lies in a secure medical ward. He's said a few weird things, but that could be exhaustion or a concussion etc. talking, and if not it's just more reason to keep him around to kind out how he knows them. If he's actually some kind of dimensional traveller, better they discover how common that is and how likely other travellers are to be in significant numbers ('cause again, one dude, really not when compared to a small but well-armed nation like a colony fleet) and if so, how friendly or hostile they might be. At worst he'll be facing a squad of intel officers, not a firing squad. Which one he actually considers worse is another question, but personal attention from big name white hats means vanishing into some shady corner for "rigorous interrogation" is almost certainly off the table, and will lead to a rescue followed by them raising holy hell if some Hard Man Making Hard Decisions in a Hard Chair drinking Hard Liquor while Hard tries anyway.
