Upon being forced to pull out of the Dust Sector, the Earth Defense Force turned the massive artillery emplacements stationed in the Free Fire Zone on the Town of Dust. They callously shelled the town, completely irregardless of civilians. The Marauders opportunistically used the bombardment as cover to launch a raid against the town, showing up armed and in numbers.
