The Evacuation of Ilima took place several years after the Hammer of Dawn Counterattack but before the Battle of Ephyra, where the Locust Horde manipulated the Kryll into attacking Ilima city by using Seeders. COG High Command deployed Zeta-Six, Echo-Five, and hundreds of other Gears to take part in evacuate the city civilian population from the approaching “Kryllstorm”. General RAAM under orders from Queen Myrrah led a personal attack on the city to fasten the “inking” of the skies so the Kryll can devour the city of it human population. The evacuation turned into a major battle after the Locust Horde hoped to use the city as a stepping stone to attack the COG capital, Ephyra.
