As you are all aware, tragedy struck a while ago when Lane Hacker affiliates leaked incomplete schemata of the Kishiro Jump Drive Project as a consequence of Liberty's interference during the IKN-Niyodo retrieval. Ranging from our politicians to Kishiro's experts, everyone kept on stressing the risks attached to these uncontrolled, incomplete leaks and any devices constructed based upon them. Our estimates saw that such devices will require at minimum a year of highly dangerous trial and error by third parties prior to a "functional" third party device appearing.
A vessel utilizing a device clearly belonging into the "trial and error" phase was spotted and subsequently dismantled upon my orders within New Tokyo today.
The ZDF-Hinaichigo, a Zoner operated Crayterian Battlecruiser holding Approval by the Ministry of Economy for passage, attempted to activate a potentially highly dangerous volatile Drive knock-off in orbit of New Tokyo itself at 21:45:26 Sirian Standard Time.
Prior to issuing orders for its destruction, we probed the situation a bit and revealed a few interesting details:
The Zoner Community in the Omicrons constructed and subsequently sold the device on Freeport 11 to this self-identified 'Research Vessel' - We urge the KOI to investigate this lead immediately.
The Captain, one Kashiwaba Tomoe, of the vessel did not understand the risks attached and described the devices usage as "unreliable but a nice party trick".
According to the Captain, the device utilized by this vessel allegedly suffered from graviton wave emissions which they attempted to counter-act through additional shielding. The immense collateral its activation in New Tokyo's orbit could've caused showcases that we need to tighten our regulations and show no mercy to fools playing with technology they do not understand in the slightest. We may have just avoided millions of casualties by pure chance.
Following the vessels dismantling efforts, carried out to a large part by the auxiliary fleet vessel IKN-Yamaguchi, a sample of the fuel batteries in use by the Zoner vessel could be retrieved. They're being sent to Ichigaya for further studies. Due to the severity of the incident, we will inquiry with the Defence Ministry and the Ministry of Economy to immediately revoke this "Zoner Defence Forces" group's permission to transit Kusari territory in capital-class vessels.
In light of these developments, this report acts as debrief to all forces regarding future amendments. Coordination with the KOI and feedback from Kishiro is still pending, but it is crystal clear that we need to take a harsher stance against illicit Drive copies much sooner than anticipated.
Any vessel in possession of a Jump Drive not explicitly belonging to the Keiretsu, Naval Forces, KOI or listed distinctively in the License Database is a valid target and marked for immediate disposal when encountered within Kusari sovereign territory. The Admiralty advocates for the KOI to target vessels operating with Drive copies far beyond Kusari territory in an effort to mitigate the catastrophic risks the usage of these unstable devices represents.
