Hilton Hostage Crisis

The Hilton Hostage Crisis is the conflict that sparked Luna's War.

On the 15th of May, 2101 Se To-Bao's son (a resident of Poseidon) was heading towards the Hilton hotel in Dome B of Serenity, when a group of Serenity children began attacking him. One of the assailants (exactly whom is unknown to this day) managed to crush a portion of his skull. The child was rushed to the medical facilities, but was unable to be saved, and died in the early hours of 16 May, 2101.

Se wasted no time, and conferred with other members of the security personnel at the Serenity Hilton. Just before dawn on 23 May 2101, Se and the rest of the staff of the Hilton took possession of the tasers in the armory, and held the guests and residents hostage, demanding the redistribution of wealth among the permanent citizens of Luna.
