October 27 - A total of three offices of the Consolidated Associate Traders of Zenobia were damaged in what can only be called freak accidents when three separate fires erupted within a span of as many days. Fires began over the weekend in CATZ warehouses and offices on MacLaren's Drift, Hale's Moon and Caliban - all worlds out on the Rim.
Faulty electrical wiring is thought to be to blame. A commission of inquiry into the use of substandard construction material in off-world facilities has been launched.
An official from The Ministry of Works has stated for the record, "The use of substandard electrical wiring in any of our facilities is unconscionable. Such practice would put to risk the lives of loyal staff and the good folk of those settlements. We eagerly await the recommendations of the commission of inquiry and support any calls for legal action against the subcontractors responsible should criminal negligence be proven."
Fortunately, no one was injured in these accidents. Property damage estimates are pending.
