This is certainly the clearest indication in the whole episode of Leylan's *direct* callousness. If he really thought the earlier two were rescuable he should have sent an armed group of a size capable of attempting to deal with the menace. Sending Krell alone is pointless.
It's hard to tell how many troops he has available for deployment--some died or were wounded in the mutiny, and Leylan certainly has to keep the remaining prisoners closely guarded. He might not have anyone to spare.

There would also have to be 'service personnel' - maintenance, cooks etc etc (though some of the crew would no doubt have 'doubled up).
Also compare the older/younger officer relationship with that in RoD (or even Travis/Par in 'Trial') Jacqui
