On the 17th of Snow's Maiden, 25 S.A. a force of nine hundred Ferrymen mercenaries traversed the underground tunnels of Providence. After exiting the tunnels, the Ferrymen entered the Imperial Bastion, then climbed up to the roof of the Imperial bank. The ferrymen shot into the city, aiming at soldiers and shouting demands. In the ensuing chaos, several bystanders were injured, and women and children took shelter in the tavern whilst the ISA rallied their forces. In the mean time, Captain Viktoriya and Lieutenant Heath Linnord approached the Ferrymen to attempt negotiations. The ISA soon after engaged the mercenaries after hours of negotiations came to an end, and successfully killed a large portion of the force, while two hundred survivors escaped.
