The SS Steja djal Scipia was a Tyreseian ocean liner that caught fire and ran aground in the late evening hours of August 17th, 1938, en route from Leonople, Perateia to New Tyria, Tyreseia via Pelias, Vardana. 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. (See more...)
