Battle of Brandenburg Tor

rdfs:comment

The Battle of Brandenburg Tor was the first major encounter and battle fought between the Systems Commonwealth and the Magog. Very little is known about the battle, except that the previously unknown Magog descended en masse upon the planet and its orbital defenses, destroying everything in sight. The Commonwealth forces put up a token amount of resistance, but the planet quickly fell. The entire population, an estimated three billion citizens, mostly Nietzscheans, were killed. The news of the devastation visited on the colony was a complete shock, sending ripples of fear and uncertainty throughout the Commonwealth, which hadn't been attacked in over 1,200 years. The Abyss itself oversaw the sacking of the planet, but the Abyss did not know that the sacking was being recorded. This recordi

The Battle of Brandenburg Tor was the first major encounter and battle fought between the Systems Commonwealth and the Magog. Very little is known about the battle, except that the previously unknown Magog descended en masse upon the planet and its orbital defenses, destroying everything in sight. The Commonwealth forces put up a token amount of resistance, but the planet quickly fell. The entire population, an estimated three billion citizens, mostly Nietzscheans, were killed. The news of the devastation visited on the colony was a complete shock, sending ripples of fear and uncertainty throughout the Commonwealth, which hadn't been attacked in over 1,200 years. The Abyss itself oversaw the sacking of the planet, but the Abyss did not know that the sacking was being recorded. This recording later revealed the Abyss's existence to the crew of the Andromeda. After it was over, the planet was quarantined by the Systems Commonwealth and later ceded to the Magog by the Treaty of Antares. The fall of Brandenburg Tor was considered to be one of the greatest tragedies in Commonwealth history.
