Weltraumlabor 202 Incident

24 October 2218 a Gray Goo incident occurred aboard the Weltraumlabor 202 killing the entire crew of 225. An analysis of the nanites involved showed a alteration from the original template provided to the station. According to GGN State News the most likely reason for the incident is American sabotage. This is being treated as an act of aggression until the UAF can prove with no uncertainty that they are not responsible.

As a result of this incident all colonial development around the garden world Epsilon Eridani b has stopped as the former Weltraumlabor is currently decaying in its orbit and is expected to to crash into the planet in 90 to 100 years at which time the nanite swarm will consume Epsilon Eridani b and everything on it.
