	Brock's ship was assigned to attack the [[Lanowar 8]] mining outpost. He was armed with the then-latest weapons technology from his government, a multi-warhead bunker-busting nuclear device. He had understood the weapons were low yield(between 40 and 50 kilotons each) and that they would 'penetrate deep into the ground and destroy the mining infrastructure'. He(and his superiors) had also assumed that the mine itself would be spaces relatively far from the civilian population center.		Brock's ship was assigned to attack the [[Lanowar 8]] mining outpost.

	The attack was further in response to hostile actions made by Mee-Apostrophe-M Corp., and was thus considered a reasonable proportional response. All of this was discussed at the war crimes tribunal(held by the the [[Gudersnipe Foundation]], the [[Alliance]], and the [[Runarin]]s), and agreed that, based on these assumptions alone, the attack was justified.

	However, two major factors influenced the final outcome. First, the weapon(which had never been tested), proved far less accurate than ~~it's~~ designers intended, with a spread much wider than specified and at least three warheads air-bursting. Second, Mee-Apostrophe-M was in violation of approximately every safety law in existence as well as basic common sense.		However, two major factors influenced the final outcome.

	Brock's ship dropped out of FTL, fired the weapon, then jumped back; relying on automated target acquisition systems to do the rest.

	However, the mine was actually located directly beneath the settlement; which itself was little more than a ramshackle collection of hastily-built shanties. There was no plumbing or utilities, and the city sewage flowed into the mines.
