The Core Dynamics breakaway faction created by ex-CEO Jupiter Rochester has survived, by gathering believers in the corporate rule of the Federation.
Conrad Sterling, political journalist for Vox Galactica, published this report:
âWith its military forces defeated in February, and its leader found guilty of mass murder and imprisoned for life, Jupiter Division should now be a footnote in the Federationâs history.â
âYet in recent months it has steadily grown, retaking control of HIP 54530 and several neighbouring systems. Its megaship, Victoryâs Forge, even managed to repel Federal troops and remains under Jupiter Divisionâs command.â
âThere is much speculation about the underlying reasons for this. Alongside general unrest with the Federationâs current policies, there is a rising interest in Rochesterâs grand vision â replacing democracy with corporatocracy â among those wishing to see change. Many have flocked to Jupiter Divisionâs banner, preventing its collapse.â
âCore Dynamics, its parent company, has also continued to see defections within its ranks. However, new CEO Owen McKenna has vowed to destroy his predecessorâs rogue department. It is possible that Jupiter Divisionâs survival was only a brief reprieve, unless the corporatists can gather in sufficient numbers to sustain it.â
