| Eyewitnesses reported a sudden pre-planetrise barrage as the train was unloading, followed by an intense firefight that lasted almost 10 minutes. Nearly a dozen mechs were used to assault the station and Republican Guard garrisoned at the station were initially overwhelemed. After regrouping Nordis security forces blunted the FKA assault and they retreated, but not before destroying the train and disabling the regional magrail system. Halix networks were soon filled with images of the carnage, including one widely-circulated video of the station control tower being hit by a particle beam weapon as the staff attempted to flee. | Eyewitnesses reported a sudden pre-planetrise barrage as the train was unloading, followed by an intense firefight that lasted almost 10 minutes.

The spokesperson refused to comment on a rumored link between the FKA and [[polemos:9th_age:factions:sanctuary|Sanctuary]]. | The FKA's fourth attack this year, it is the first that has targeted Titan aid.
