*[[Core Dynamics]] CEO [[Jupiter Rochester]] has been accused of collaborating with Fleet Admiral [[Lucas Vincent|Vincent]] to orchestrate [[Starship One]]'s destruction in 3301. As reported by Ethan Takahashi for The [[Federal Times]]: "Financial data was presented to the court showing that Vincent, along with others in government and the [[Federal Navy]], received colossal payments via shell companies created by Jupiter Rochester's loyalists. The prosecution claimed that Rochester and Vincent were reacting to then-[[President of the Federation|President]] [[Jasmina Halsey]]'s intention to scale back military spending, which would impact Core Dynamics's profits. They arranged to assassinate her and lay groundwork for [[Zachary Hudson]] to be voted into power, knowing that his policies would result in further naval contracts. The defence argued that Halsey's testimony was unreliable, and that the financial data was obtained via improper methods so should have been inadmissible. It was also pointed out that the [[Rochester family]] had many enemies determined to besmirch their reputation. The jury has now been sequestered to determine a verdict. This means they are unaware of media reports that several Core Dynamics departments, known collectively as '[[Jupiter Division]]', are transporting ships and personnel to the HIP 54530 system." Other sources confirmed that the HIP 54530 Gold Universal Group has officially assumed the name Jupiter Division, suggesting that it was heavily infiltrated by Rochester's loyalists. The faction has retained control of the [[Permits|permit-locked]] HIP 54530 system.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/601d40da3b480653852264ef GalNet: Jupiter Rochester Named in Starship One Trial]</ref>

*Evidence presented at the trial of Fleet Admiral [[Lucas Vincent|Vincent]] suggested financial links to Federal shipbuilding corporation [[Core Dynamics]]. This significant development was covered by Ethan Takahashi for The [[Federal Times]]: "The initial investigations around [[Starship One]]'s destruction in 3301 were outlined by the prosecution. When the [[Federal Attorney's Office]] revisited this historical data, traces were found of financial transfers routed through non-[[Federation]] banking systems. The FAO brought in the expertise of the [[Wallglass Investigations Agency]], which discovered that these transactions were made via shell companies created by Core Dynamics. Fleet Admiral Vincent, as well as several other naval officers, received billions of credits through these companies that went undeclared. Vincent refused to answer any questions about this evidence, once again claiming that he is the victim of a conspiracy to hand the presidency to [[Felicia Winters]]." Despite multiple requests from the press, Core Dynamics has not made any public comment. There are unverified reports of large-scale activity taking place at some of the corporation’s centres of operation.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60194d23d0851778df338afc GalNet: Core Dynamics Implicated in Starship One Sabotage]</ref>
