Although the identity of the raiders was never proven, the general sentiment among the population was that they had been hired or employed by Jacob Bannson.[1] In May 3133 a coup was launched against the government on Mirach; although the coup was unsuccessful[3][2] and lasted less than ten days,[2] it was symptomatic of the chaos expanding throughout the region in the wake of Gray Monday.[3]
