Line 58:
The Crisis was concluded with the signing of the Solstice Accords. The published versions of the Accords made no reference to the nuclear program, which itself was never publicly acknowledged by the Cryrian government. However, the Accords did see the transfer of nuclear reactors and technology to Älemsi Negdel, and it is thought that other restrictions and inspection regimes were implemented on the weapons program to satisfy Älemsi worries. It is unlikely that these restrictions were intended to wholly stop the development of Cryrian nuclear weapons however, as the Fara Incident took place roughly three months later without protests from the Älemsi government.
==== Fara Incident ====
The Fara Incident was an unidentified double-flash of light detected some 200 kilometers off the Cryrian island of Fara within the Kingdom's Loopian Sea EEZ on 30 March, 2002. Although unexplained, the phenomenon resembles the effects of a low-yield nuclear detonation. Further examination was hampered by the remoteness of the location as well as the fact that the Cryrian Navy had declared an exclusion zone around the area, purportedly for ongoing exercises in the aftermath of the recently concluded Second Yeralik Crisis. The latter fact has cemented the idea of Cryrian government involvement in the Incident.
Cryrian vessels had previously denied access to passing Älemsi trawlers, and the Älemsi Ministry of Defense made statements in 2008 indicating its belief that the CDF had conducted a weapons test off Fara Island.
