Ragnaromo

Also known as The Sack of Rømø. On June 5th 2063 at 05:34:01.001 AM, one minute before dawn, Ares Macrotechnology launched a 20-ton Thor Shot from Icarus Station at a velocity of 60 km/s at Rømø Arkoblock off the coast of Denmark.

The resulting impact caused at 8.6 kiloton explosion, coring and demolishing the Arkoblock. 2,949 people were killed in the blast; representing the entire complement of the Arkoblock, which had just finished construction, save for 1 utility worker in a submersible, who was carried 400 meters inland of the tide line on the rogue wave which followed. Allegedly a retaliation for the Proteus AG-sponsored piracy against Ares vessels in the Sea of Japan, there is some suspicion that there was a deeper intrigue at play. In the resulting Corporate Court case, Saeder-Krupp-sponsored interests lobbied to veto many of the harsher penalties proposed against Ares.
