=== Wreaken Calls for Surface Mining Support Tests ===
[[File:Gold Rush Mining.png|600px|centre]]
'''To test its new deployable [[Mining Rig|mining rig]], [[Wreaken Corporation]] has called for independent pilots to help complete field trials.'''
Dr. [[Ben Curtis]], Chief Geologist at Wreaken, stated:
"''We're excited to not only test the rig's patented mining laser technology but also verify which materials it can extract from a variety of planetary body types''."
"''In order to conduct accurate tests, we're also opening up these field trials to pilots willing to laser mine asteroids for comparative yield analysis''."
He added that it was a result of the direct cooperation with [[Vodel]] for the release of the new [[Rhino|SRV Rhino]] that placed the deployable rig in the hands of intrepid miners so quickly.
"''The Rhino is the first of its kind in this new class of SRV. We know buyers are going to have a lot of fun taking this across terrain they found tough before''." added [[Owen McKenna]], CEO of [[Core Dynamics]].
All independent pilots willing to take part in the initiative should head to the Ega system and register their interest at Metz Enterprise.

=== SRV and Surface Mining Trials Deemed Resounding Success ===
[[File:News Image settlements 1.png|600px|centre]]
'''[[Vodel]] confirmed in a joint press statement with [[Wreaken Corporation|Wreaken Mining]] that recent early release trials of the new [[Rhino|Rhino SRV]] had been a huge success.'''
Telemetry data received from independent pilots taking part in the recent initiative showed that the new surface vehicle performed across even the roughest planetary terrain.
"''We're extremely proud of the Rhino and its capabilities''." said [[Owen McKenna]], CEO of [[Core Dynamics]].
[[Ben Curtis|Dr. Ben Curtis]], Chief Geologist of Wreaken Mining, added "''The amount of minerals received as a result of the new surface mining rig was unprecedented'',"
"''My research has been proven, and I cannot wait to see what this new technology will yield in time''."
With the trials now concluded, both Vodel and Wreaken hope that the Rhino and the rig will usher in a new era of [[Miner#Surface mining|surface mining]].
The Rhino with the [[Mining Rig|mining rig]] included as standard are currently available for exclusive purchase initially and will transition to standard shipyard inventories at a later date.

=== Prison Ship Reported Missing After Failing Scheduled Transit ===
[[File:Community News Feed 5.png|600px|centre]]
The [[Independent Detention Foundation]] confirmed yesterday that [[Prison Ship|Riker-class Reformatory]] EVE-597 had failed to report in following its scheduled jump.
The prison ship successfully jumped from the Nones system but has not arrived at Gliese 506.2. [[System Authority Vessel|System authorities]] confirm that no signs of debris have been detected.
The organisation said that the vessel EVE-597 has been in continuous service for several years and holds a prisoner transit contract covering four confirmed waypoints across independent space listed as Nones, Gliese 506.2, Evenses and Chematja.
Authorities in all four systems have confirmed that the vessel has not been identified since the report.
A spokesperson for the Foundation said that they're treating the disappearance as "concerning" but assured that there should be no cause for alarm should anyone locate the vessel on their travels.
"''EVE-597 has a good record and a good crew,''" the spokesperson said. "''Catastrophic mis-jumps are vanishingly rare. We're confident that everything will be under control''."

=== Missing Prison Ship Discovered Adrift in Redonesses System ===
[[File:map.png|600px|centre]]
'''Multiple sightings have been reported of the missing [[Prison Ship|prison megaship]] EVE-597 with system authorities confirming that the vessel has suffered damage.'''
Pilots inspecting the Riker-class prison ship noted disabled defence turrets and a significant quantity of drifting debris.
"''This doesn't look like a mis-jump to me''," stated one Commander over local comms. “''More like an ambush''.”
When [[Vox Galactica]] approached The [[Independent Detention Foundation]] for comment, a spokesperson briefly acknowledged that a "disturbance" had taken place on board EVE-597 during the transit window. The spokesperson declined to offer any further details at this time.
Pilots have been advised to remain extra vigilant as the Clan of Redonesses maintains a firm grip on the system, prompting questions as to any possible involvement between the lawless clan and EVE-597's arrival. The Foundation asks onlookers to keep a safe distance from the prison ship until a full investigation has been completed.
