Mining Guild to Fine Exarga

ZOGOTO, EXARGA – Despite repeated assurances that they do not know who authorized the strip-mining of a doonium-rich asteroid belt in their sector, the Exargan Mining Authority has been fined for failure to disclose revenue to the Mining Guild. The Outer Rim world administers a rich asteroid belt deep within its sector, which is used to supply such major consumers as Kuat Drive Yards, Rendili StarDrive, and Rothana Heavy Engineering. Their year-end inventory revealed a discrepancy of over 200 million tons of doonium ore. The Mining Guild is poised to launch a full investigation for corruption within the Authority’s executive board. In the meantime, they are fined an amount based on the current market value of the doonium, well into the trillions of credits.
