On September 23rd, wy602, a series of well-coordinated attacks attributed to the [[Sons of the Reach]] ignited a new war of secession in [[Whistler's Reach|The Reach]].
The attack exploited code inserted into the Sierra version of the [[Whistler Defense Force|WDF]] Naval Operating System in February of wy602 and allowed someone aboard the ship to take complete control of the vessel and bypass safeguards. This facilitated the theft of fifty destroyer-class warships and the destruction of [[WDF Arnold Whistler]] at [[Foxglove]].

- [[WDF Endeavor]]
- [[WDF San Jacinto]]
- [[WDF San Eduardo]]
