— Alex on the Massacre

The Jilane Massacre or First Battle of Jilane was a major military defeat for the Coalition when they lost the Jilane Farms. Jilane was a COG controlled city not far from Jacinto. The commanding officer of Jilane knew he stood no chance of holding out against such large numbers of Locust and so gave the order to withdraw. An evacuation operation began; however it had to abandoned due to the rate at which the Locust Horde was taking the city. The birthing farm was abandoned and its inhabitants left to die. It was the right call according to doctrine; however many thought it was the wrong call.

Faced with an overwhelming force, with a overwhelming Locust army with Brumaks began laying siege to the city^[4]. the local Gear C.O. left the city to its fate, along with all the women and children in the breeding farms.
