may 4, 2190 - Invasion of Geneva
Description:
As SATO and UNSA were celebrating Fleet Day, an SDF sleeper agent took control of the AATIS guns and reprogrammed them to fire on the parade, quickly destroying many unprepared UNSA warships. This also allowed the SDF fleet to jump in and deploy troops, which began to indiscriminately mass murder civilians and military personnel alike while bombarding the already wrecked city. The UNSA, however, managed to quickly regroup its forces and launch a counterattack, with the Eclipse and a ground force of SCAR and Marine forces retaking control of the AATIS guns and captured the sleeper agent, forcing the SDF to retreat into low orbit. The remaining 8 UNSA ships chased and destroyed the fleeing SDF invasion fleet. In a last-ditch attempt to destroy the UNSA Navy, the Olympus Mons jumps out of Slipstream Space, and attacks the already depleted UNSA fleet, obliterating 6 destroyers with its F-SPAR. However, the Retribution initiated a tactical collision maneuver, damaging both ships to the point where the Olympus Mons is forced to retreat. The UNSA is left with just 2 capital ships in operational condition, the destroyer Tigris and the supercarrier Retribution.Added to timeline:
