Critical failure of reactor safeguards results in a cascade failure across a network of radiological and biological research projects that had been inexplicably linked together - according to some sources this was done as a fail-safe in an attempt to render territory uninhabitable in the event of the regime's overthrow. In any event the panic engendered by this calamity precipitated the collapse of what remained of Verionist Benacia. The city of Chryste was transferred to Batavia, which transferred the city to Francia.
