Cynebury Accord: Difference between revisions

In the [[Auroran Imperial War]], [[Norograd]] constructed an orbital bombardment weapon, named Ketavuul after the [[Kozam]] god of chaos. It was intended to attack [[Great Morstaybishlia|Morstaybishlian]] installations from orbit, so that ground forces could easily conquer South Staynes. However, in 1975, three Emberite intelligence agents were discovered attempting to sabotage the weapon. The agents were mistaken for [[Ethalria|Ethalrians]], which led to Ketavuul firing 4 rods at RivendaleRibenstadt and its surrounding installations. The effect of this was devastating, as the power of the rods were augmented by small nuclear warheads, causing devastating explosions. RivendaleRibenstadt was devastated, and thousands of civilians and soldiers alike were killed.

The destruction of RivendaleRibenstadt greatly heightened concerns over the future of space, a fear that was compounded when, on October 2, the Tretridian Air Force performed the Steorran Spere ({{literal translation|Spear of Stars}}) test. In the test shot, an aircraft fired an ASAT missile, successfully destroying the target, a decommissioned research satellite. About 300 pieces of space debris was created from the destruction of the satellite in what would be the only recorded use or test of an ASAT weapon in history. Some pieces of debris from the test would persist in low Urth orbit until the 2000s.
