July 14, 2444: The Ares Raid. Imperialist forces clash with insurrectionists. It was from an account of this conflict that Durandal stumbled upon a reference to the shotgun -- a weapon used by the Imperialists. From this reference, it is inferred that Durandal's S'pht were able to reproduce the weapon for use by Mjolnir Recon number 54.
