2143 destruction of Space Biosphere Six

The 2143 destruction of Space Biosphere Six occurred on 29 April 2143, when an explosion destroyed Space Biosphere Six in orbit around Earth. There were no fatalities, but the Hispanic Commonwealth's supply of textured fungal protein was severely restricted.
The terrorist group "R" admitted responsibility, a day after the attack, as a protest against the series of executions carried out by General Rodriguez of suspected "R" sympathisers among the senior politicians in the Hispanic Commonwealth – which had begun after the destruction of Moonbase Noriega by "R" in October 2142.

The Hispanic Commonwealth's supply of TFP was severely depleted by the loss of the Biosphere. Citizens there, like most people, rely on TFP as their basic food. On 3 May 2143, General Rodriguez vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice – but said his first concern, "as a great humanitarian leader", was to secure alternative sources of food for his people. The Hispanic Commonwealth had to buy tons of TFP from the other Combines at great cost.
It was reported on 2 June that the rebels' plan had apparently succeeded, in that the executions of so-called "R" sympathisers by the Hispanic Commonwealth had ceased.
No members of "R" have yet been brought to justice for the attack.
