Massacre at Port Joe Smith is the incident on Port Joe Smith, a mormon settlement illegally built on a world deep within the Arachnid Quarantine Zone.
Events[]
Mormon settlers chose to defy the quarantine zone restrictions and built Port Joe Smith deep within it.
This world however, was already colonised by the Arachnids who responded to the intruders by attacking them. The Mormans had no chance of survival against Warrior bugs and were massacred.
Prior to the massacre Jean Rasczak had been sent by the United Citizen Federation to provide teaching classes to the youth. After arriving he took a class, when the Arachnid's attacked. Fleeing to the communications room Rasczak was able to call down a shuttle out of orbit to retrieve him. Grabbing his morita assault rifle Rasczak fled to the temple and climbed its external structure along with the sole remaining colonist alive Kirtland Allen and jumped onto a DR-8 Skyhook fleeing into orbit.[1]
Aftermath[]
Officially the United Citizen Federation announced that every colonist was killed, making no mention of the two surviviors Jean Rasczak and Kirtland Allen.
This intrusion lead to the Arachnids to launch an asteroid against Earth in retaliation, ultimately starting the First Bug War.[2]
