Jupiter Rochester Goes Rogue from Core Dynamics
09 FEB 3307
Several departments loyal to the Core Dynamics CEO have seceded to form an independent corporate republic called Jupiter Division.

During the recent trial of Fleet Admiral Vincent, Jupiter Rochester was named as the paymaster behind the sabotage of Starship One. This hastened long-term plans to abscond from Core Dynamics along with many ships and personnel.

In the permit-locked HIP 54530 system, the HIP 54530 Gold Universal Group has been renamed as Jupiter Division. It is assumed to have long been infiltrated by Rochester’s loyalists.

Using the new self-appointed title of Supreme Executive Rochester, he broadcast this statement across all Federal media channels:

“For many years, I helped Core Dynamics become one of the galaxy’s strongest companies, but petty laws and bureaucracy restricted me at every turn. I have always felt that people should not be ruled by politicians, but by those holding true economic power – the corporations.”

“It will be a long time before I can act on my commercial plans, but I will prove that corporate rule is the most beneficial system of governance for the Federation.”

Jupiter Rochester is the eldest son of Shadow Vice President Isolde Rochester, and a key member of the influential Rochester family. As yet there have been no public statements from his mother or siblings.

"Supreme Executive"...

And then the Fednecks say that us Imperials are the ones fond of perposterous titles :rolleyes:

Yes, because the current level of corporate rule inside the Federation is working sooo well for the ordinary citizens looks at the poverty-ridden slums you can find in every Fedneck starport and settlement

Total corporate control will surely fix that... :sneaky:

Maybe the Empire should, as a precautionary matter, declare the Fedneck Ambassador and Jupiter's brother Jordan Rochester a persona non grata and kick him out?
_________________

OOC - Out of character:

Will be interesting to see how the rest of the Rochester clan will a) react to this and b) will be reacted with...

Isolde Rochester - Federal Congresswoman

The current matriarch of the Rochester family, and mother of five. Influential member of the Liberal Party and staunch supporter of Shadow President Felicia Winters.

No direct connection visible to her eldest son, and as a supporter of Winters I guess she should get out of it rather unharmed if she condemns his actions.

Jordan Rochester - Federal Ambassador to the Empire

Middle son of Isolde. Stationed on Emerald in the Cemiess system. His personal ship is the Farragut Battle Cruiser FNS Pioneer. Formerly engaged to Princess Aisling Duval of the Imperial Family.

If Aisling vows for him (they were engaged at some time after all, so she should know him well enough) it might safe his behind, otherwise the Empire might not risk having a wild card like him around and kick him out.

Juno Rochester - Vice Admiral in the Federal Navy

Eldest daughter of Isolde. Commanding officer of the Farragut Battle Cruiser FNS Pioneer.

Since she is the Pioneer's CO I guess she's in Imperial space as well? Might be kicked out or asked to leave by her brother (and mother) to ease tensions with the Empire. Potentially a candidate to replace Fleet Admiral Vincent in return?

Jocasta Rochester - Post Captain in the Federal Navy

Youngest daughter of Isolde.

Nothing else known about her so far. Will be interesting to see how her brother's actions will affect her career.

Jonah Rochester

Youngest son of Isolde. Regarded as the black sheep of the family.

Oh, his star is going to rise after the stunt his eldest brother just pulled. 🤪

Kalen Rochester

Son of Jupiter Rochester and actor Tomas Turai.

Yes, you read that right. Actor, not actress, Tomas Turai. Wonder how that worked? Foster mother? Test tube? Adopted? (And no, I'm not against LGBTQ+, I just want to know how they worked around a certain biological "restriction"). Together with his sister...

Kali Rochester - Olympus Village University student

Daughter of Jupiter Rochester and Tomas Turai.

...the two of them will most likely suffer most if they stay inside the Federation now that their father basically admitted being a traitor.

So mechanically is Jupiter the Fed version of Theta Seven? If so, where (or what) is the Alliance nemesis?

The Thargoids, since that's the nest Mahon doesn't mind to keep poking? Or maybe Mahon himself/the other alliance candidate, since Mahon basically said "no, too busy" to elections.

Ehmm... I have a question... Are there any Core Dynamics(!) Farragut-class Battlecruisers(!!!) missing inside the Federal Navy? 😳

Hmm, might be worth checking out the capital ships created during a CG like two months ago? Pretty sure they specified systems for them, though I never went there to check if we could see them.

Edit - From Galnet:

Federation - Atropos, Iman Caber, LHS 142, LFT 367, Wolf 25
Empire (not relevant for this, just listing them anyway) - Chimechilo, Orannika, Theta Indi, Zelano

it's afaik not possible anymore to get a complete list - ever since farraguts started spawning randomly in CZ. also the farraguts under repair in navy docks do not have names attached.

We have the 5 ones from a november CG, they even bothered to give us a flight plan for their patrols - Atropos, Iman Caber, LHS 142, LFT 367, Wolf 25.

Also interesting (for me anyway) is that (if I remember right) corporate factions favour Winters in Powerplay, and not Hudson.
