=== 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. | |||
