This is a standard administration-run server event, not an official story event. The course of this event is not guaranteed to result in any changes in the storyline, though considering the Omega-49 arc has been player-driven, the results of this event may be taken into account as the story arc for Omega-49 unfolds and is canonized.
It is safe to assume that if an event is not listed as an official story event, and it is not posted by a development team lead, then its results are not guaranteed to be used in story development.
