History
In 2945, the family of the deceased Xander Castillo filed a lawsuit against Nova Pyrotechnica regarding the quality of the company's ship missiles. The lawsuit alleged that Nova was negligent in the death of Citizen Castillo. Dozens of other UEE citizens reported similar accounts, and multiple reports cited in the lawsuit indicated that missiles made by Nova Pyrotechnica malfunctioned more frequently than others. In conjunction with the lawsuit, the Castillo family filed a complaint with the Weapons, Munitions and Firearms Bureau to tighten the limits on the amount of cannonade allowed in missiles made for public use.
