The attack
Strikes on the Reciprocity States
Continental Doren
Strikes on Aenia
As Asteroids and other projectiles landed in Doren and the Reciprocity, Central Aenian Air Defence Command discovered one of the Class E objects, Ulysseys 1994XF04, was veering off it's planned course for unknown reasons. They were able to predict the impact location as just off the Caledonian Coast, and this information was passed down to all civil authorities. Only a small fraction of the citizens were able to evacuate for a variety of reasons.
At 3:17 AM Ulysseys 1994XF04 detonated only 9 kilometres west of Comberth, the resulting fireball reached up to the stratosphere and vapourised many residential areas, while the shockwave levelled buildings further away. This shockwave also produced a tsunami, which levelled the remainder of downtown Comberth. In hours, 330,000 Comberthians perished, and another 1.7 million were displaced. Additionally, the majority of the Federal government were killed in the attack.
Immediately after the Ulysseys Disaster, smaller orbital debris rained down onto the Tioga region. Fires ripped through towns and the regional capital Los Canas suffered severe damage.

Minor ripple effects
When news reached the Chevspendi, mass hysteria ripped through the tribes as religious authorities and scholars interpreted this as a divine omen of the end times and the nearing of the completion of the prophecy of Ataqi Ouli. This hastened the subduction of the Cynazdic oligarchy and directly culminated in the Chevspendic invasion of Egercia and the formation of Sahrland.
