When their demands where not meet at the appointed time, they destroyed the local HyperJump HaloNet Beacon junction, but not before they issued another statement… demanding that if the Republic did not remove all non-Hiss’agoth from the planet’s surface in thirty local days, that they would destroy the main Jump Beacon station at <em>Bogden</em> along the Hydian Way.
