The Peridition Massacre was an atrocity that started on the world of Perdition by the Aurigan Directorate in hopes of gaining an ally with the Taurian Concordat.[1]
History
In 3025, Santiago would attempt to gain an ally for the Aurigan Directorate. He would ask his daughter to attack the world of Peridition, killing millions in the process. Santiago would frame the Federated Suns as a way to make the Taurians allies. This was successful as it gave the Directorate a partner against the Restoration. The plan would prove helpful to both parties.[2]
Clearing the Evidence
The alliance would not last long, as the Restoration would work to find evidence against the Directorate. Thanks to the efforts of Alexander Madeira, the Restoration would present this evedience to a Taurian Liaison. As a result, Saintiago would be labeled as an enemy of the Taurian nation and withdraw all Taurian forces(with exception to Samuel who went awol upon heard the news) from attacking the Restoration.[3]
Legacy
While the massacre was successful at giving the Directorate allies, it would eventually end up hurting House Espinosa as well. After the proof of the massacre reached the Taurian government, the Taurians would end their hostilies with the Restoration and sanction Saintiago as a war criminal. When he gave up the Aurigan throne, he would be handed over to the Taurian authorities. Regardless of his fate, with Santiago gone, the Directorate in ruins, and his only heir dead, House Espinosa would end up being destroyed as a politicial entity in the Aurigan Reach.[4]
