====The Jihad====
The [[Word of Blake]] struck at Alarion on 12 April [[3069]], the same day they attacked the [[Federated Suns]] world of [[Galax]], evidently targeting systems capable of manufacturing [[WarShip]]s. The Blakist forces didn't only use WarShips to demolish the shipyards in the Alarion system and seize every vessel capable of jumping for their own purposes; they also poisoned Alarion's ecosphere with an intensely powerful [[Alarion Hanta Virus|bioweapon]]. The only vessel to avoid capture or destruction was the ''[[Mjolnir (WarShip class)|Mjolnir]]''-class WarShip [[Fylgia|LAS ''Fylgia'']], which managed to escape from the Alarion system.<ref name="J:FRp46">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 46: "The Jihad In Review"</ref>

The news agency [[Donegal Broadcasting Company]] sent a vessel packed with advanced sensor equipment to the Alarion system in early April [[3078]] to investigate Alarion from orbit, to see if they could identify any signs of life; the ship spent five days in orbit, looking for hope that someone had survived the combination of nuclear and biological weapons the Word of Blake had rained down the planet. The sensors confirmed that the satellites in orbit were still transmitting, but that no signals were being broadcast for them to carry; equally, while two broadcasting stations were found to be active in the northern hemisphere of Alarion, investigation confirmed that the two stations were running on emergency power and were simply bouncing static back and forth to each other.<ref name="JHS:Tp66">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 66: "Alarion: World In Recovery?"</ref>
