The Crimson State group had lobbied for help from the [[Alliance]] of Independent Systems, to provide military aid and combat ready pilots. Alliance Prime Minister [[Edmund Mahon]] refused to aid the Crimson State Group, arguing that [[Lugh]] was legally ruled by the Federation, hence the Crimson State Group did not rule a functioning independent state that would be a legitimate target for Alliance military aid.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5b1b39824259c8b598bc46b271181efea1d29c4d Alioth Warns Lugh They Stand Alone]</ref> | |||
The FNS Nevermore never reached Lugh. [[Core Dynamics]] postponed the maiden flight of the FNS Nevermore following an embarrassing systems failure. During a weapons test, its systems targeted Hudson Dock instead of the target drone ship. This caused the station to automatically fire back, resulting in dozens of deaths and hundreds of millions of credits in damages to both structures. <ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/a0a0942769d98cbb0e410660d3d1d619241bb372 The Nevermore Not Ready for Duty]</ref> | |||
The Federation received false intelligence that [[Éamonn Uí Laoghire]], leader of the Crimson State Group, was aboard an unarmed refugee convoy near Lugh 6. Halsey ordered Federal pilots to attack the convoy. An estimated 9,322 innocent Federal civilians died in the attack. Halsey's approval rating fell to 26% and Shadow President Hudson swore there would be an investigation into the attack. <ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/23-MAR-3301 Galnet reports from the day of the strike on the Federal Refugees]</ref> | |||
