In 2525, an insurrectionist attack on a nightclub resulted in the deaths of a number of innocent civilians as well as one Colonial Military Authority pilot, sending another into a coma. The resulting investigation into poor management and guarding of military equipment on the CMA's part would be one of the causes of the organization's downfall.[3]
