The Iridium Star United Empire dealt with over six hundred noble families at once. Although these nobles were not on the level of the Twelve Knights of Destiny families, many were the de facto rulers of entire planets behind the scenes. When the Chancellor decided to take action, these individuals were dealt with, and the Cabinet provided complete cooperation in the matter.
Following the relatively minor upheaval, one of the most influential media outlets in Iridium Star, and also the private media with the largest audience, Iridium Star People's Livelihood Newspaper, published a headline editorial titled "The End of an Era: The Nobility-Driven United Empire Moves Towards a New Age". When the first voice emerged in the public opinion sphere, a great number of media personnel with similar views sprang up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
