Lopez was rendered uninhabitable in October [[3080]], following orbital bombardment by fourteen high-speed meteors on 12 October 3080. The meteors were delivered by manmade means, and the attack was widely considered to be the work of the [[Word of Blake]] vessel [[Erinyes (Individual WarShip)|WoBS ''Erinyes'']], a ship believed to be responsible for asteroid strikes on various worlds during the course of the [[Jihad]].<ref name="J:FRp61"/>

Six weeks before the first of the asteroids struck Lopez, the nadir point jump monitoring station received a radio report from a prospector DropShip, the ''[[Ice Princess]]'', reporting that a large K-F signature had been detected by the DropShip; the signature fell outside the ecliptical plane of the Lopez system.<ref name="J:FRp22">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 22: "What of Lopez?"</ref>

The first asteroid struck Lopez at 1:32 a.m., Terran Standard Time, on 12 October 3080. Thirteen more asteroids followed the first in quick succession, and by midnight the entire planet had been laid waste; of the 2.6 billion people who lived on Lopez, the only survivors were a scattering of people left in what had been wilderness areas and those who managed to escape from Lopez on spacecraft.<ref name="J:FRp61">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 61: "The Jihad in Review"</ref><ref name="J:FRp22"/>
