Atrocity at Jata

The atrocity at [Jata](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/Rz2PmWxpMM-jata) was the first in a series of bombings that took place in the [United Planets of Earth (UPE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0QxBjKP2PN-united-planets-of-earth) in SEY 2546. While only the initial attacks took place in [Jata](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/Rz2PmWxpMM-jata), [Cestulus (Davien II)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0QlKaQ76a5-cestulus-davien-ii), the name became synonymous with bombings that were shown to have used the same technology on other worlds. After multiple attacks and almost five thousand civilian deaths with no perpetrator identified by the [Advocacy](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VDoP5pmODk-advocacy), then-High General [Ivar Messer](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RXlXYPWk8q-ivar-messer-i) used the attacks to stoke public fervor to support the creation of the office of [Prime Citizen](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V7gM82vNmr-prime-citizen), to which he was shortly elected. The architect of the bombings was never conclusively found. Evidence uncovered in 2806 by historian Sydney Kamarck posits that Messer himself may have arranged the bombings with two former acquaintances from the UPE Army.

Die Gräueltat auf [Jata](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/Rz2PmWxpMM-jata) war der erste einer Reihe von Bombenanschlägen, die im SEY 2546 auf den [Vereinigten Planeten der Erde (UPE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0QxBjKP2PN-united-planets-of-earth) verübt wurden. Obwohl nur die ersten Angriffe auf [Jata](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/Rz2PmWxpMM-jata), [Cestulus (Davien II)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0QlKaQ76a5-cestulus-davien-ii) stattfanden, wurde der Name zum Synonym für Bombenanschläge, bei denen die gleiche Technologie auf anderen Welten eingesetzt wurde. Nach mehreren Anschlägen, bei denen fast fünftausend Zivilisten starben, ohne dass die [Anwaltschaft](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VDoP5pmODk-advocacy) einen Täter ausfindig machen konnte, nutzte der damalige Hochgeneral [Ivar Messer](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RXlXYPWk8q-ivar-messer-i) die Anschläge, um die Öffentlichkeit für die Schaffung des Amtes des [Premierbürgers](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V7gM82vNmr-prime-citizen) zu begeistern, in das er kurz darauf gewählt wurde. Der Urheber der Bombenanschläge wurde nie endgültig gefunden. Der Historiker Sydney Kamarck hat 2806 Beweise dafür gefunden, dass Messer selbst die Anschläge mit zwei ehemaligen Bekannten aus der UPE-Armee arrangiert haben könnte.
