Goddard Disaster

Today in 2654 the Goddard Colony was destroyed by the Kilrathi Sivar Dreadnought. A quarter of a million lives were instantly lost. The TCS Tiger's Claw was sent to render aid and subsequently engaged in Operation Thor's Hammer to hunt down and destroy the Sivar. For the eventual loss of the Dreadnought, the Emperor's son (Prince Thrakhath's father) was executed.
