Olympic Station Disaster

The Olympic Station disaster was the greatest disaster in zero-gee history. A chain of explosions hit the station Olympia as the interplanetary Olympic events of 2108 were taking place. It caused for a change of the safety regulations for zero-gee vessels with linked open hallways, necessitating large stations everywhere to adopt a new standard of airlocks and separate compartments. The Olympia station itself was later rebranded, taken out of public sight, and then moved to Martian orbit, allowing for it to continue development unhindered as the Pegasus.

As for a possible motive for sabotage, no investigation ever turned up any leads. Speculations theorized that either it had been some political statement as to the profiteering of corporate interests, or some group which gained to profit from the reconstruction efforts of the damage. Conspiracy theorists demanded that it was TurTek itself which had destroyed its own station. As for a reason, nobody could come up with any.
