The UR-1 Incident is the name of a case that took place in 2020.

The murder

On the day of an important launch, the international spy Phantom infiltrated the GYAXA space station. His objective was to steal a moon stone which was kept safe in Aura Blackquill and Metis Cykes' office. To make sure no one knew of his break-in, Phantom disguised himself wearing a GYAXA uniform jacket, and stabbed Metis in the chest. Athena Cykes, Metis' daughter, came in to the office only to find Phantom and Metis' dead body. She grabbed a knife and stabbed the spy in the side, leaving a tear through the jacket. Phantom escaped, and in her childlike denial, Athena ordered Ponco, a robot working at the station, to move Metis' body to the robot maintenance chair, thinking that her mother was "broken", and was able to be "repaired". However, Simon Blackquill came into the office to talk to Metis about Athena, only to find her standing by her mother's body, holding a knife. Worried, he grabbed his sword and killed Ponco, to make sure there were no witnesses. He then got Ponco out of the room and ordered Athena to leave. After doing so, Blackquill covered his sword in blood, to pin the crime on himself, and then he was forced to stand trial. Athena tried to speak in Blackquill's defense, but no one listened to her, and unfortunately, Blackquill was found guilty, and was sentenced to serve prison time.

Aftermath

After Blackquill's "guilty" verdict was announced, Athena decided to study to become a defense attorney to clear Blackquill's name. The case bears striking similarities to the DL-6 Incident, because someone was killed, and their child decided to become an attorney after the case.
