Recent bombings have destroyed several major waste processing plants on the planet of Balmorra, giving the war-torn world new problems to worry about.

A direct result of the constant bombardments and skirmishes that mar the planet's surface, the waste processing plants which were destroyed have caused mass amounts of toxic waste to flood the environment, poisoning wildlife and killing flora in huge patches of land. Experts say the effects on the planet's delicate ecosystem could be catastrophic.

Given its highly industrialized nature, Balmorra has always produced large amounts of toxic waste. Instead of simply dumping the waste and wantonly harming the environment as many worlds do, the Balmorran infrastructure was always focused on employing relatively safe methods of waste disposal. This cautious approach to a delicate issue can be seen in the planet's underground hazard vaults which were designed to keep mass quantities of sewage and toxic material locked away in secure facilities.

Now that the planet's flora and fauna have been exposed to several decades worth of toxic material, environmental experts predict a grim future for the parts of the planet that have been most contaminated. Drastic measures need to be taken to clean up the waste, but due to the contested nature of the planet, the manpower required to complete such efforts has been rerouted to attempting to keep the main cities safe.
