However, food shortages and drinking water shortages are problems that these planets cannot change and are continually worsening.
The Empire spokesperson publicly stated:
The power lines and energy station equipment on the twelve stars were destroyed by the New Federation forces before they retreated, and all responsibility lies with the New Federation. The Empire has no obligation to support these New Federation residents unless they obtain Empire residency permits; then the Empire will allow these residents to fully experience the great Emperor's benevolence.
In response, the Interstellar Human Rights Investigation Committee and several New Federation-funded charitable organizations attempted to deliver resources to these twelve stars.
However, they quickly encountered harassment from some 'interstellar pirates', resulting in lost materials, and both ships and personnel vanished without a trace.
