[[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''." | |||
