Groundquakes Hit Berchest Cities
CALIUS SAJ LEELOO, BERCHEST – A powerful groundquake rocked Berchest’s most populous city yesterday, shattering many crystal edifices and prompting thousands to flee their homes and businesses. Officials have no immediate reports of casualties or damage, though estimated death tolls range in the thousands. The spaceport at Calius Saj Leeloo was closed for over 12 standard hours. The quake had a preliminary magnitude of 7.1 standard and was centered in the mountains 45 kilometers west of Calius. Miraculously, the most famous structure, the Sanctum Arcti, sustained only light damage. The Refugee Relief Movement will start directing supply ships and medical aid tomorrow.
