Yokohama Base Incident (Date: Dec 10 Location: Yokohama)
Operation 21st (Date: Dec 25 Location: Sadogashima)
Game Mechanics
BETA spawn from western Japan into Nagoya and from the Sea of Japan to the north. Waves of two different sizes (small and large) will attack Nagoya and Izumosaki, raising the BETA Dominance % from 1% to 14% per arrow. The base will start taking damage, and will fall when its HP reaches 0, upon which it can start sending waves to nearby bases until the location is retaken.
Bases can be repaired when they reach 10% Dominance, and will be closed off to repairs when reaching around 20% again.

Game time manipulation isn't related to player population or BETA attack aggression, and is used as a mechanic for shortening time between ingame events.
BETA waves (large arrows) spawn from the Sea of Japan and western Japan at a frequency of 1min40sec or 50sec real time, depending on unconfirmed conditions. (50sec spawns confirmed Dec 7 7:58 game time Nov 7 17:31 JST real time, 1min40sec spawns confirmed Dec 7 11:35 game time Nov 7 22:08 JST real time)
