2016 Mobius Skirmish

The 2016 Mobius Skirmish was a skirmish that occurred on Mobius during the night of January 16, 2016. It was instigated by the Zalgonians, who were opposed by the Rebellions, Mobians, and forces sent by Jack. The Zalgonians committed genocide on the Mobian civilians, leaving 20% of the Mobian population dead in the attack, though the Zalgonians and Rebellions were defeated. Princess Sally Acorn was kidnapped by Zalgonian forces, though she was rescued by Jack's forces two days later.
It was initially reported that among the dead was Xenon Miles Prower, the youngest brother of Tails, although this was later proven false when Xenon emerged from hiding underground.
==Aftermath==
During the skirmish and immediately following the massacre, a large influx of Mobians migrated to other planets, including the nearby Kingdom of Ambrosia, to seek temporary or permanent refuge. In response to this, Sir Ampharos of Ambrosia gave the following decree:
:"In light of the recent events on Mobius, a large number of Mobian refugees have come to us for shelter. We must accept them with open and loving arms, comforting them in their time of great despair and sorrow. Should they choose to return, we must allow them to do so; should they choose to stay, we must make them feel at home. It is the very least we can do to help them recover from their sudden tragedy."
On February 16, 2016, 31 days after the skirmish took place, Sir Ampharos commissioned a memorial dedicated to those who were massacred by the Zalgonians. The memorial was completed on February 19, 2016, and can be seen on Ambrosia. Sir Ampharos gave a speech dedicating the memorial that included the following statements:
:"We will hold all of our mutual losses within our hearts, cherishing their lives and memories for as long as we possibly can. The atrocity of their massacre is senseless, and we shall in no way forget what has transpired in these lovely Mobian skies any time soon. We, too, on Ambrosia have experienced our own losses, and we are mourning them as well. I ask that each and every one of you in attendance today will remember to keep each other close in companionship, for we will never know when such a tragedy will ever take place again. We need each other now more than ever; now is the time to be together."
The Mobians will erect their own memorial to the event on January 16, 2017, the anniversary of the event itself.
