| - The Miltian Conflict was a catastrophic and devastating war event that occurred on Old Miltia in the year T.C. 4753 (fourteen years prior to Xenosaga), with origins in the mysterious Zoar Incident in T.C. 4730. The amount of fatalities caused by the Miltian Conflict is unclear. Many people were killed by berserk Realians during the conflict, and it's possible many more were killed when the Gnosis arrived. However, given a planet, such as Ariadne, has a population of 1.5 billion people, and it's unlikely that everyone was able to escape planet Miltia before it was locked in the Abyss, it is likely that millions and possibly billions died as a result of the Miltian Conflict. The main impetus of the conflict was the power struggle between the Immigrant Fleet descendants who traditionally held power on Miltia, and the Galaxy Federation attempting to extend its control over the planet. The military arm of the Immigrant Fleet, the U-TIC Organization, began buildup on Miltia to maintain their independence from the Federation. In addition, the Federation desperately wanted to take Joachim Mizrahi into custody as a means of acquiring control of his Zohar research and learning how to counteract the various weapons and resources U-TIC had gained from such. When U-TIC refused to turn him over, the Federation began dispatching troops to Miltia in a series of three planned descent operations in order to cause minimal disturbance.
