On [[2553#Januray|January 27, 2553]], the {{UNSCship|Ariadne}}, a [[UNSC Navy|Navy]] [[patrol ship]], was forced to drop out of [[slipspace]] near Venezia secondary to a complication with its [[fusion drive]]. The ''Ariadne'''s commanding officer requested permission to land nonessential personnel on the planet due to the risk posed to their safety, but was refused by tower control.

''Monte Cassino'' was hailed by Venezia upon its arrival and warned that it was encroaching on the sovereign colony's territorial limits.
