 * 25TH - MULHOUSE, EARTH, SOL SYSTEM - Major planetary vehicle manufacturer Schlosser & Cartier is caught in a scandal by Federal authorities for the use of a system which bypassed a Federal mandate on the maximum level of power the engine of such vehicles were allowed to produce for use inside the atmosphere of Class A planets. The power system was rigged to consume a larger portion of engine power than necessary while undergoing testing by Federal authorities, thus allowing for the vehicle to have a higher amount of power while in use by the general public. The discovery comes after an inquiry made into the company when a Parisian man broke the in an S&C and killed 13 people in an accident in the Saint Michel district of the city last month. S&C stocks dropped more than 20% only one day after the Federal government announced its findings, and more than 20,850,000 luxury vehicles are believed to have been rigged with the system on Earth alone.
