Mostly clueless foreigners got surrounded and captured by the law enforcers. Contrabands confiscated and crews locked up at Prison Stations by the LPI, where they have been probably tortured or killed off by local inmates sooner or later.
Mostly clueless foreigners got massacred or robbed by the local unlawfuls (with exception of Outcasts) as they have been encroaching into their turf uninvited and were either caught up in debris fields or chased off them just to be later picked up by lawfuls.
The whole venture ended up as a clear failure for these foreign criminals - too many goods, ships and people lost, weakening them for the future. Now they understand why they need local intermediaries to smuggle their products - but those are really pissed off as their operations have been disrupted by the alerted lawfuls and uninvited foreigners trying to steal their usual smuggling cuts or shares.
This is the reason why there cannot be drawn a lore development from events like this - it doesn't make sense for these factions lore wise in the first place.
I have some excellent news for you, as there doesn't need to be a lore end to this event as Garrett already confirmed long before the event, that the event isn't canon, and was just for fun. There for anything happening is purely for activity and monetary reward sake, and the event isn't actually happening within the realm of roleplay.
