The Long Dark

Disaster / Destruction

The Star Viggio, at the center of the Wemner System, entered a period of intense activity, generating a series of Coronal Mass Ejections more powerful than any that had ever been observed. Space stations and ships completely shut down and, without a way to stabilize their orbit, eventually crashed into the planets they circled or floated off into the void of space. Colonies lost all power overnight, with many machines fried beyond repair. The count of dead was beyond estimation - overnight, humanity went from the apex species of the system, to fighting for their own survival.
