=== Aftermath ===

==== Operation Scimitar ====
Operation Scimitar was an operation launched by the Advocacy to fight criminality in UEE systems close to the Xi'an. It was a direct reaction of the incident. The operation was intended as a demonstration of strength, rather than fighting against crime. It was personally approved by Imperator Costigan, [[StarCitizen:Illyana Sharrad|High-Secretary Sharrad]] and [[StarCitizen:Peter Upshaw|High-Advocate]] [[StarCitizen:Peter Upshaw|Upshaw]]. Thomas D. Carmody, Director of the [[StarCitizen:United Empire of Earth Advocacy|Advocacy]] said in an internal message: We want your agents to sweep their territories [the border systems to the Xi'an]. I want a full crackdown on any open bounties or outstanding warrants."<ref name="robertsspaceindustries.com">{{Cite RSI|text=Advocacy Archive - Operation Scimitar|int=Comm-Link:Advocacy Archive - Operation Scimitar|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/13348-Advocacy-Archive-Operation-Scimitar}}</ref>
