Of the 941 passengers and crew aboard, 472 perished, making the fire the worst maritime disaster in Tyreseian history up to that point. Despite being manufactured as a tourism-based passenger vessel, the ''Steja djal Scipia'' was almost immediately pressed into service as an emigrant liner as a result of civil conflict and ethnic tension along her route. The vessel gained a reputation for dedication to reliably transporting ethnic Perateians and other refugees away from Vardana to safety in Perateia or Tyreseia. Along with this reputation came a series of dubiously-safe modifications to increase passenger capacity. Such modifications likely greatly endangered the ship, turning her into a floating matchbox. While on a routine voyage back to New Tyria, the ''Steja djal Scipia'' caught alight off the city of Oñulba on the night of August 17, 1938, with the loss of over half of her passengers and crew thanks to mass confusion, poor modifications, years of neglect and faults in her original design. What started the fire was never determined by authorities; as such, theories abound. Causes from Invictist sabotage to faulty construction and even freak weather conditions have been blamed. Regardless, the disaster was instrumental in forcing Tyreseian maritime safety standards to change in coming years. The high death toll, in spite of the ship's proximity to shore, was blamed on faulty design and crew incompetence. In the wake of the fire, the Tyreso-Periclean Line was investigated by the Tyreseian government and the League of Neptune was forced to reconstruct it under a new name, Tanit Line.

Flag of the Assembled Nations.svg

The Assembled Nations (AN) is an intergovernmental organization with the goal to further peace and security on Eurth. The AN is made up of almost every country in the wurld. The Assembled Nations (AN) has experienced a complex and dynamic history since its establishment in the mid-20th century. The AN was established after several major conflicts that badly affected multiple continents with an unprecedented scale of destruction, the death of over 50 million people, and the use of weapons of mass destruction. Its history is characterised by four distinct periods, each marked by significant events, actions, and changes in public opinion. The dove found on the Assembled Nations' flag and emblem symbolizes the continued endeavour for peace. Its threefold mission is to foster dialogue and cooperation between governments worldwide; to advance international peace and prosperity; and to defend the human rights and individual freedoms of people everywhere. To advance this mission, the Assembled Nations manages many agencies around the Eurth. These include peacekeeping missions, security collaboration projects, human rights campaigns, economic and social development projects, environmental awareness and protection activities, as well as humanitarian missions for populations in crisis.
