Concerning Dawn's journey outside of Trantor

Spoiler Alert: This post is about episode 6 where Brother Dawn leaves his solar system for a far away destination.

What surprised me the most was not so much that the welcoming party was one person but how the entire journey went.

For one, it appeared that Dawn has never taken a trip on board an FTL ship and didn't look so healthy after the short trip from a time duration p.o.v. If he's Emperor and has health issues, pre-existing or not, even if it's just "travel exhaustion", than the Empire's best physicians should be on hand to deal with it. Instead, it's almost like the show was indicating that he took a Motrin to deal with jet lag like every average Joe out there.

And then, at the destination, he arrived on a single ship without an escort of an entire fleet to protect him in case of a major assault by an unexpected enemy on the fringes. If anything, the prior episode on Terminus showed how dangerous that was. And also, why didn't the Emperor have a scouting fleet, show up ahead of time, to scan the region for possible hostiles? Even on Earth, in our reality, the President of the United States would not have arrived at some random location without the armed forces, NATO or otherwise, scope the region for problems ahead of time.

Instead, he's on the surface with half a dozen bodyguards, no air cover, and no escape plan if his ship gets missile attacked.

It gave me a bad impression that Day's out of touch with the universe, outside of Trantor. He lives in an information bubble where only traveling emissaries and Ito's counsel are the only things he knows. And if that's the case then it's clear that the Empire will collapse and probably within a decade or two, nevermind his natural lifespan.
