Mass Prison Breakout Reported at EVE-597 Reformatory

The Independent Detention Foundation had admitted a significant breakout attempt took place aboard prison ship EVE-597.

A large number of prisoners have left the Riker-class reformatory via escape pods during the breakout. Journalists in Redonesses have reported that the Clan of Redonesses criminal faction is attempting to help the prisoners avoid recapture. It is believed the prisoners controlling EVE-597 chose the system specifically as the controlling faction is sympathetic to their cause.

The Foundation has put out a call for independent pilots to subdue criminal pilots in the system while security forces track down escaped convicts.

"These prisoners are our responsibility," a Foundation spokesperson said. "We would rather recover them alive, and it is safer for everyone if the criminal pilots trying to prevent convict recapture are dealt with."

The Independent Detention Foundation has thanked independent pilots who protected convict recovery efforts in the Redonesses system.

EVE-597 is back under Foundation control and all convicts on board been secured. Local system security also reported that the vast majority of escaped prisoners had been recovered and returned to custody.

A spokesperson for the Independent Detention Foundation confirmed that The Wallglass Investigations Agency had been appointed to establish how prisoners aboard the Riker-class prison ship were able to breach their cells in large numbers.

"Initial investigations have recovered partial telemetry from EVE-597's comms array. The breakout appeared to have been coordinated with support from inside the ship." Wallglass detective Eric Gunnarson said in a press statement to Vox Galactica. “It is too early to confirm whether the megaship's security data had been disclosed to a third party before the incident took place. However, it is one avenue we are actively exploring.”

The Independent Detention Foundation stated that it would cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation, and the EVE-597 will resume its normal jump itinerary as soon as possible. Template:GalNetLinks

Brewer Corporation’s Carrier Jump Satellite Plans

Brewer Corporation is manufacturing what it calls 'jump satellites' to enable more fleet carriers to target a system with no planetary bodies.

Under existing circumstances, only one fleet carrier can remain stationary in a system of this type, preventing other carriers from targeting and continuing their journey.

"It's especially problematic for explorers in the furthest reaches of the galaxy where star density is at its lowest," remarked Brewer Corporation CEO Madelyn Teague in an interview with Vox Galactica.

"Brewer engineers successfully tested a significant modification to existing beacon amplification. Our prototypes were successful in mimicking the planetary body signal used by fleet carrier jump computers, helping carrier crews safely traverse to a location without a planet or moon present."

Teague's statement concluded with a call to action for independent pilots to deliver certain commodities to ensure the first batch of jump satellites is ready on time.

"With enough of the necessary components, we can deploy jump satellites to fleet carrier bottlenecks around Rackham’s Peak."

Interested pilots should head to the megaship Zero Squared in the HIP 74116 system. Template:GalNetLinks

Three Prisoners Missing Following Recent Breakout

The Independent Detention Foundation has confirmed that three maximum security prisoners evaded recapture following the breakout in Redonesses.

Despite system authority attempts to elicit information from the Clan of Redonesses faction, the whereabouts of the three fugitives remains unclear.

A spokesperson for The Independent Detention Foundation confirmed to Vox Galactica that all three are high-ranking pirate leaders convicted of complex, repeated large-scale criminal activities.

“The individuals in question were recently incarcerated at the EVE-597 reformatory because it was the only ship capable of holding them. It’s clear that the prisoner uprising was a smokescreen for their planned extraction.”

Wallglass Investigations have also released the names of the missing prisoners: Gunther Bernhardt, Yaz Murano, and Trey Coombes. They have issued further information to system authorities and warned pilots not to approach if located.

“All three should be considered armed and exceptionally dangerous,” said detective Erik Gunnarson. “Any information on their current whereabouts should be immediately reported to your nearest security contact.” Template:GalNetLinks
