A fire destroyed Supratech's main manufacturing facility on September 7, 3304. While all on-site personnel escaped without injury, dozens of prototype Torc units were irreparably damaged., Supratech CEO [[Scorpio DeVorrow]] noted that the disaster had set back development of the Torc significantly, and investigators had yet to determine the cause of the blaze or explain why the facility's fire-suppression system, security cameras, internal alarms, and thermal sensors all manfunctioned simultaneously. The incident put into question Supratech's participation in the upcoming Rackham Ultratech Expo.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5b8fbfac3bbf456553742cdd GalNet: Fire Destroys Supratech Facility]</ref> | A fire destroyed Supratech's main manufacturing facility on September 7, 3304.
