      • YC112-05-22

        Romi, Kador - On 112.05.20, a wormhole generated by Sansha's invasion vessels collapsed. Many capsuleers believe it was destabilized by their use of focused gravimetric waves.

With current low prices for minerals, a ship can be built or acquired significantly below its insurance value and the subsequent self destruction of the insured ship can yield significant net gains.
