Triplex Crisis

The Triplex Crisis began in 392 A.E. when the Stratis Corporation suddenly increased the fees taken from the two largest Arkandic cities to run their triplex compressors. By this time, triplex compressors had become a vital part of Arkandic daily life, and the cities had little choice but to cut other services in order to keep them running.

This resulted in months of civil unrest until the Arkandic Syndicate Board forcefully claimed the patent and transferred it to the Financial Guild. Arkand later licensed the triplex compressor internationally.
