The SS-5 Incident refers to two crimes that took place near an orphanage in February 2007. Photojournalist Ryūji Kamei was killed while witnessing what he believed was a kidnapping of President Teikun Ō of Zheng Fa. The perpetrators later claimed that they had indeed kidnapped the president, and demanded that the government of Zheng Fa pay a hefty ransom fee for him. The incident had profound implications for the nation of Zheng Fa, especially the House of Lang, whose illustrious legacy in Zheng Fa's law enforcement was brought to a swift, ignoble end.
