Notable events

In 818 AS, the Nomads launched a full scale invasion while The Order were under attack by Guild Core forces. Their objective was, it seems, the destruction of The Order. Against all odds, they fought the invaders with bravery.

During the Battle for Minor, the Isis was destroyed and the ground batteries silenced by Nomad bombardments. The strikes were directed at fault lines along the planet's surface. The bombardment destroyed the thin crust at those lines, letting the latent magma flow through multiple fissures in the crust. The process was repeated all along the planet, which became mostly overrun by lava flows.

It would appear the Order had neither enough time to stage an evacuation nor the resources, so it is believed that most of the population died in the underground bunkers - either due to the bombardments, or the lava flows that followed. It is estimated that close to one million people perished.

The few that managed to escape - either fighters that fled during the attack, or the transports that weren't at Toledo - went to the newly discovered jump-hole that lead to Omicron Zeta in an attempt to recoup their losses and rebuild their lives.
