Kuat-Thyferran Detention Crisis

The Kuat-Thyferran Detention Crisis was a diplomatic crisis between the worlds of Kuat and Thyferra, that related to the detention of Thyferran citizens indefinitely by Kuat due to concerns over the Strug Pathogen.

Background
The Strug Pathogen Crisis emerged a major crisis in the early tenth century. However, rapid response by the Thyferran government was undermined by espionage from foreign powers resulting in the spread of the Pathogen to Alderaan. The Pathogen's ability to spread to other races was demonstrated and provoked alarm across the galaxy. While the Thyferran government quickly developed a vaccine to cure the disease, the Thyferran government was viewed with alarm and skepticism in some parts of the galaxy.

The Crisis
The harshest response came on Kuat where the vaccine was banned and those who took it faced legal penalties. Then seeking to cut off its population from exposure to the vaccine, arrested hundreds of Thyferran citizens in Kuati space. This resulted in the detrioration of relations between Kuat and Thyferra, and efforts to resolve the crisis where ultimately fruitless. Thyferra dispatched observers to monitor it citizens, while a resolution was found, while it expelled all Kuati citizens from Thyferra.

Resolution looked to be in the eves when the Republic of Loronar hosted a group of independent scientists to verify the functionality of the vaccine to address galactic concerns on its safety. While this verification process was underway galactic opinion began to swing against the Kuati position, as no further outbreak appeared, and Thyferra's calls for the release of it citizens were persistently rejected.

Resolution
Ultimately the vaccine was validated, yet the release of the citizens was several months in coming. The entrenched stance taken by Kuat made stepping back difficult, when the release of the Thyferra citizens was obtained it caused a domestic reordering within the Kuati government.
