GALNET - 05 MAR 3307 - Jupiter Rochester Sentenced to Life Imprisonment

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 Fleet Admiral Vincent’s conspiracies. Unfortunately, our request to open a full investigation has been denied.”

Shadow Vice President Isolde Rochester has reiterated that 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.

OK, so who's the one trying to cover stuff up here yet again? :cautious:

Waaaaiiiiitt... does this mean that the Fednecks will have their own flavour of NMLA to deal with in the near future? :oops:

Life imprisonment only means he'll break out at some point. Should have executed him. Only way to be sure. Then again staging a breakout and having him die in the ensuing firefight might make him less of a martyr.

It just means that the long term story is the fed corporate civil war takeover and Jupiter was one road into it. As that road got blocked we hear about this new movement instead.

Looks like the feds may lose any moral high ground they ever had with regards to Democracy. I only ever see one prominent fed posting (that i know is Fed) so waiting to see their views.

It depends, if FDev want to get players to back a new faction they are going to have to be more subtle. Pretty much every time they've tried to introduce a new faction they seem to be blatant moustache twirling villains offering something worse than the status quo.

It was fun to be in the top 10% and barely pay for repairs etc...

TBH, I didn't actually do that much for it. Top 75% (it might have even been top 100%, i didn't check at the end). I've prefered the trade CGs recently as that's been more my playstyle since I switched to PC, so I didn't really put any effort in and pretty much stopped contributing once the Feds were over a complete tier ahead.

Getting into the top 10% didn't require much: I think the friend I was baby-sitting (first CZ / CG experience) and I did a little over 20 million in bonds to get that high... Unlike the other side which would have been much higher! He had fun though, that was the important bit.
