What happened in the Duskrail belt did not cause much noise on Duskrail itself after the first shock passed.
The people who had quietly backed the pirate leader through money, smuggling routes, and dirty agreements reacted exactly how you would imagine they would.
The moment they found out that the ones who destroyed the pirate fleet were connected to Polaris Naval Academy, they stopped asking questions and started looking for replacement pawns.
A dead pirate captain was nothing to them.
He had only ever been useful because he was cheap, disposable, and violent enough to stand out among other pirates.
If he failed badly enough to get himself erased, then he was not someone worth avenging, especially not if revenge meant making an enemy out of Polaris.
So the whole matter was buried quickly on Duskrail's side, and the groups that had supported him turned their attention to rebuilding control through new crews while cursing the man they had just abandoned for being incompetent.
