Gwepol Incursion

The Gwepol Incursion, also known as the Arcanian Attack on Gwepol was an Arcanian suicide attack on the Gwepol starbase. The attack, which formally kicked off the Arcanian-Coalition War, was carried out by a repurposed Golden Fire migrant ship, which slammed into the side of the Gwepol starbase, killing many Giphen crewmembers and severely damaging the orbital installation.

Background
The attack, which was staged in early 40 ASG3 (5160 AD), was an unprovoked act of aggression by the Arcane Imperium. The attack was likely carried out in hopes of crippling or destroying the Gwepol Starbase, which would make it much easier to launch a ground invasion of the planet.

Aftermath
Though the attack was ultimately successful, the Giphen Rational Commonality responded quickly by forming the 1st Galactic Coalition. In addition to a quick retaliation, the starbase was eventually repaired.
