 Why did the captain try to change course away from Jorgenon's Worlds?
"Two double planets, all rather close to an unimportant star listed as DRI-G 33987. They're called Jorgensen's Worlds, and in themselves are of no importance whatever. Magnan leaned back, waiting for Retief's reaction. Unfortunately, Jorgensen's Worlds are technologically undeveloped areas. Overall policy calls for a defense of these backwater worlds.

 Jorgenson's World doesn't have enough trade value to warrant the trip.  Retief killed Skaw, and it angered Mr. Tony, who ordered him to change course.  He needs to get away from the Soettie after Skaw's death.  He wants to drop Retief off at Alabaster instead.
