2025 Phobos Incident

The 2025 Phobos Incident was a series of three coordinated terrorist attacks carried out by elements of the Space Liberation Front (SLF) against the spacefaring nations of the world on the morning of Monday, January 13, 2025. The attacks resulted in the deaths of 14,000, over 150,000 injuries, and substantial long-term environmental consequences to the planet Earth, in addition to at least $40 trillion in infrastructure and property damage. It is the deadliest terrorist attack in human history and the single deadliest incident to occur in Low-Earth orbit, Martian orbit, and on the Lunar surface.

The first in the series of attacks was the assault on the Phobos Waystation which destroyed the moon of Mars and temporarily halted transportation to the Asteroid Belt and Outer Planets, the second was the bombing of Sea of Tranquility City which resulted in a massive decompression event suffocating tens of thousands, and the third and final collision of several orbital satellites in a cascade that resulted in a Kessler syndrome which stands to cut Earth off from its space-based infrastructure throughout the Solar System for at least the next fifty years.
