====== The Chaos Miracle ======
On AE 6/4/238, just as the //[[..:technologies:marcs-class_ship:Benevolence]]// was about to destroy [[..:Locations:Agalos City]] with the [[..:Technologies:Chaos Bomb]], several members of the [[..:Factions:ADC]] were able to nullify the weapon and disable the enemy command ship. 

Those that participated were:
  * [[..:Characters:Cerick]]
  * [[..:Characters:Christophor]]
  * [[..:Characters:Gaius Seelix]]
  * [[..:Characters:Jon Diamond]]
  * [[..:Characters:Kaida Len'Kandev]]
  * [[..:Characters:Reiko Eleythos|Reiko Arthen]]
  * [[..:Characters:S47]]
  * [[..:Characters:Tyr Eleythos]]
  * [[..:Characters:Tonil Immi’lank]]
  * [[..:Characters:Ulena Pythos]]

Several view-points on how this happened exist. All that is for certain is that the //Benevolence// was damaged before its chaos bomb could be detonated and crashed onto the shores of [[..:Locations:Lake Agalos]]. It marked a turning point in the Agathonian civil war and is credited with inspiring the creation of the [[..:Factions:UFPF|United Free People's Federation]].

===== Orthodox Arthenian View =====
According to many of those present, [[polemos:celestials:agkelos|Agkelos]] were summoned from the sky, and directly caused the damage to the //Benevolence//. The Unternational Orthodoxy did not immediately support this position due to implications it might have on the teaching of the Cessation. In later years, after formal testimony by [[polemos:8th_age:characters:reiko_eleythos|Reiko Eleythos]] the body formally affirmed their belief in the event, and provided an explanation in line with the Cessation.

===== USC View =====
Initially after the events, the USC announced they believed the //Benevolence// to have suffered a major frame failure due to metal fatigue caused by Chaos pollution, a new form of pollution they believed similar to K-H pollution, but more pronounced and longer lasting.
