The mystery of the massive metal block that fell from the sky remained unresolved. But since it came from the Empire's side, it was considered an intervention by the Empire for the time being. Citizens of the Alliance were posting messages on the Empire's interstellarnet, thanking them for helping the Alliance catch the starship, saving 168 betas from the Alliance.
Most of these 168 were A-tier and above beta, with 23 of them being S-tier.
Once this information was disclosed, all of the Alliance was astounded. No wonder the number of high-tier beta awakenings in the Alliance had been decreasing over the years.
While filled with fury, the Alliance's citizens couldn't help but "thank" the Empire again, flooding the Empire's interstellarnet social media, sending "heartfelt" greetings to the Empire's royalty and its citizens.
