Having said that, on the assumption that it is an adverbial meaning "even", I think it would make sense for it to be modifying the {boSuqlaH}. Otherwise, if it modified the relative clause, it would be something like "You can obtain the Earth, which even the puny Federation cherishes".

The usual assumption is that {vabDot} is an adverbial meaning "even", in the sense of emphasizing that something unexpected is indeed the case. But we have no idea for sure, since Okrand's never given us a gloss of the word. We don't even know 100% what part of speech it is. (Another word in that sentence, {Qej}, also has an unknown precise meaning, though at least we know it's a verb because of the -bogh.)

At this canon sentence:

Qo'noS romuluS je boSuqlaH. vabDot tera' Qejbogh DIvI' ram boSuqlaH.
kronos, romulus and even the puny federation's precious earth, are all
up for grabs.

The {vabDot} is referring to the {boSuqlaH}, right ?
