Both the [[Imperial Navy]] and the [[Alliance]]'s [[Council of Admirals]] have suggested committing naval forces to support Salvation. In the [[Federation]], [[Federal Congress|Congress]] has debated redirecting funds that were ring-fenced for Aegis to accelerate development of the anti-xeno superweapon. As yet these are merely discussions, but do illustrate the wide-reaching impact of the Cornsar incident. In the meantime, in the absence of direct support from either Aegis or Salvation, pilots are sacrificing their lives as they fight courageously to push back the Thargoid fleets."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61a63b4d8b415c236409007e GalNet: Thargoid Invasion of Nebula Systems Intensifies]</ref>
