The Destruction of Vasuda Prime was an event caused by the Galactic Terran Alliance defeat at the Vasuda system. Due to the bombardments of the SD Lucifer, the terrain of Vasuda Prime was rendered uninhabitable, killing billions of innocent Vasudans.
Antecedences
The Great War reached the Vasuda system. The Shivan assault was led by the SD Eva, a Demon-class destroyer, and the SD Lucifer superdestroyer itself. The GTD Galatea and her bomber wings caught the SD Eva off guard, attacking and destroying the Shivan destroyer. The Galatea was left behind, not wanting to risk a head-on fight with the overpowering Demon-class. The SD Lucifer launched fighter and bomber wings at the Galatea. The force the Shivans attacked with led Admiral Wolf to order the evacuation of his ship. The evacuation was costly: a number of escape pods were destroyed, but at least a portion of the crew escaped. Unexpectedly, the SD Lucifer appeared and fired her beam cannons at the Galatea, destroying the ship and killing Admiral Wolf on-board.
Evacuation of Vasuda Prime
The destruction of the Galatea ensured Shivan victory at Vasuda. The Lucifer entered the orbit of Vasuda Prime and started bombarding the planet. After thirteen hours of non-stop bombardment, it was estimated that four billion Vasudans lost their lives in the attacks. The planet's surface was completely destroyed. Shivan forces pursued escaping Vasudan transports, raising the number of casualties even further.
The GTD Bastion was one of the Terran warships assigned to assist the Evacuation, becoming the new home of many of the Galatea's fighters. With the additional assistance of the destroyer and it's combat wings, many Vasudan lives were saved. The fleeing refugee transports found refuge at Aldebaran and Sirius.
