History
The Capellan Confederation attacked the Federated Suns planet of Novaya Zemlya in 2399, massacring seventy-five percent of the population and crippling the planet's agricultural and industrial centers for centuries.[1]
Even though this was close to the start of the Age of War, the Novaya Zemlya Massacre was remarkable as it was the first time that a massed fleet of spaceships (including the Du Shi Wang-class battleship) bombarded a planet's civilian infrastructure–cities, industrial centers, and even agricultural lands–from orbit.[1][2][3][4]
This attack prompted the Federated Suns to launch an immediate military buildup, starting with WarShips.[1]
