Destruction of Kfaray

The Destruction of Kfaray, also known as the Kfaray Genocide or in official Terran documents as Operation Violent Impact, was the usage of Atmospheric Deprivation Weapons by the Federal Navy on the Ur-Han world of Kfaray from the 5th to the 7th of December 2644. It was part of the Terran terror campaign known as Operation Tenbatsu. It resulted in the annihilation of all lifeforms on the surface of the planet, inflicting an estimated 800 million civilian deaths. Additionally, it rendered the planet uninhabitable. Despite an initial blow to Coalition morale, the usage of such a cruel weapon class ultimately was a massive win for Coalition propaganda efforts and emboldened many soldiers. It had devastating psychological effects on a large part of Federal Navy personnel according to contemporary ONI reports. The operation is considered to have been a strategic disaster, having achieved none of its military or political objectives in the short or long run.
