The bombing of the Summer Palace was an event involving the destruction of the Summer Palace, the SeaWings' hidden above water palace, by the SkyWings and MudWings. The attack was an act of the War of SandWing Succession in 5,011 AS by Burn's side, and led to the SeaWings backing out of the war and retreating to the Deep Palace.[1] The attack resulted in many SeaWing casualties.
Description
Crocodile, a MudWing working for the SkyWings, infiltrated the Talons of Peace and saved Webs when the Talons attempted to kill him, gaining his trust[2]. She tricked him into returning to Queen Coral, which allowed the SkyWings to track him to discover the location of the Summer Palace[3]. SkyWings firebombed the canopy and palace with burning logs (supplied by the MudWings) and dragonflame cacti, which destroyed the canopy and caused mass casualties[4]. Commander Shark and SeaWing soldiers, along with Riptide and various prison guards who left their posts[5], fought a delaying action against the SkyWings while civilian SeaWings attempted to escape through the underwater tunnel. However, the narrowness of the tunnel delayed evacuation efforts[6]. During the battle, the dragonets of destiny had a confrontation with Crocodile in which she revealed that she was working for the SkyWings and had infiltrated the Talons to find the Summer Palace. She was killed by Glory. The delaying action of the part of Commander Shark lasted long enough for the Seawing government to evacuate as well as several civilians such as Pike. After the attack, however, the entire palace was destroyed.
Following the attack, Queen Coral and the Seawing Front collapsed as the SeaWings retreated underwater and hid in the Deep Palace for the remainder of the war, despite their alliance with Blister. The withdrawal of the Seawings from the war allowed Burn to focus her forces on a plan for an invasion of the Icewings[7].
