- The Dynamet Corporation donated a large sum of credits to the hospital Mercy General on Taris for the construction of a wing devoted to curing the rakghoul plague. The hospital was renamed Dynamet General in thanks.
- Around this time, civil war broke out between the Tarisian nobility and the planet's largely alien lower class. The conflict was sparked when rising levels of toxic pollution poisoned the planet's oceans and famine swept the city-world, and the nobility began to hoard food for themselves. Though the lower classes rose up against the nobility, the rebellion was ultimately crushed after millions died in the fighting.The prisons in the upper levels ran out of space for the surplus of incarcerated citizens, and thus the practice of casting criminals to the Undercity was born. They could not return under penalty of death.
