The Federal Intelligence Agency then immediately moved to arrest several other co-conspirators among the Federal Navy and government. Jupiter Rochester eluded authorities and fled to the safety of his Jupiter Division in HIP 54530. Questions were raised about whether or not other members of the [[Rochester family]] were involved in or had knowledge of the Starship One plot, and conspiracy theories swirled that Jupiter was a member of [[The Club]]. At the same time, prior accusations that President Zachary Hudson masterminded the Starship One disaster to remove Halsey and ascend to the presidency were effectively debunked, since Vincent's trial had presented no evidence that Hudson was aware of the conspiracy.<ref name="Vincent Guilty">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60212d7aa4e2185f794a4065 GalNet: Fleet Admiral Vincent Pronounced Guilty]</ref> | The jury returned with a verdict of guilty on February 8, and sentenced Lucas Vincent to life imprisonment for this crimes.

The revelation that Jupiter Rochester funded the attempted assassination of Jasmina Halsey to increase the profits of Core Dynamics, as well as his insurrection against Federal forces in HIP 54530, provoked a public outcry among Federal citizens against corruption and corporate influence in the Federal government. The scandal damaged both the Republican Party and the Liberal Party.

*Former [[Core Dynamics]] CEO [[Jupiter Rochester]] has received a summary judgement for multiple crimes against the [[Federation]]. The [[Federal Justice Department]] gave this statement: "The facts in the case of [[Jupiter Rochester]] are self-evident. His principal role regarding Starship One and [[Jupiter Division]] make him guilty of treason, mass murder and many other crimes. He will serve a solitary life sentence in a maximum security prison." [[Milandu Okoro]] of the [[Federal Attorney's Office]] expressed surprise: "It is highly unusual for the FJD not to litigate such a major case, considering we don't know the full extent of Rochester and [[Lucas Vincent|Fleet Admiral Vincent's]] conspiracies. Unfortunately, our request to open a full investigation has been denied." [[Shadow President|Shadow Vice President]] [[Isolde Rochester]] has reiterated that [[Rochester family|her family]] were not involved with her eldest son's clandestine activities. Core Dynamics is continuing to rebuild after several departments separated to form Jupiter Division. [[Owen McKenna]], the new CEO, has vowed to purge the company of all his predecessor's loyalists. Despite Rochester's failure to build a powerbase in the [[HIP 54530]] system, his manifesto of placing the Federation under direct corporate rule has received praise in some regions. A corporatist movement, founded by commercial networks and civil groups, is gradually gaining popularity.<ref name="Jupiter Sentenced" /> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>[[Jupiter Division]], the breakaway faction from [[Core Dynamics]], has been defeated in the [[HIP 54530]] system.
