Oka Incident

The Oka Incident was a major disaster that befell the League of Kelownan States. A team from the Naval Intelligence Department transported onto an abandoned Harmony of Horizon base on Kelowna's moon of Oka. The team triggered a Horizon boobytrap, detonating the torpedo magazine of an entire frigate. Much of the surface of the moon was blown away, and towards Kelowna. All Tauni fleet units, with the exception of a single Patroller-A, as well as local Starfleet forces, were out of position. The Patroller-A prevented complete disaster, but over 100,000 Tauni died as pieces of moon came crashing down onto the surface. The Starfleet vessels USS Vigour and Korolev arrived too late to do anything other than disaster relief. The Tauni were understandably deeply unhappy with the Federation's failure to prevent the disaster, and it took the retasking of Task Force Jade to resolve the trust issues resulting from the disaster.
