As a result, the offending Kig-Yar were not imprisoned and the guilty shipmasters were simply fined for damages. Although a junior staffer in the Ministry of Concert found evidence of this, the High Council failed to properly investigate the incident, as they were willing to accept several thousand sterile Unggoy rather than risk upsetting the Kig-Yar. To exact their revenge, a radical group of Kig-Yar shipmasters poisoned infusions-recreational narcotics the Unggoy enjoyed-on High Charity and on the vessels operated by the Kig-Yar which left many male Unggoy sterile. The relocation caused stress for female Kig-Yar that were going through their incubation cycles, and Kig-Yar infant mortality rose on High Charity and the birth rate declined.
