Prison Ship Break Subdued in Redonesses

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.
