'''[[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''."
