Jurgætium Removes Ambassador to Earth After Tech Transfer Indictments

Imperial Jurgætium has ordered its ambassador to Earth to be removed, according to a decree released by the Grand Synod House of Jurgætium, after indictments of illegal tech transfer were lodged by Sir Keir Marvik, Special Envoy to the Xarnaq Praetorium.
  United Planets Security Council Secretary G-Rod ibn Quirish had urged Earth to expel Ambassador Magister DeVault after evidence was discovered of mind-transferral technology intercepted from the Orville Corporation, allowing for subsequent illegal sales to underworld factions.
  The decree published by the office of Prime Imperator Jurgætus LXII acknowledges the indictment, and claims Ambassador DeVault has gone into hiding, noting that his last known location was aboard an escort vessel hastily leaving Earth orbit without proper clearance.
  “Any formal actions by United Planets against the accused whilst in absentia will just drag on indefinitely,” claims Special Envoy Marvik. “Jurgætium officials are simply ‘saving face’ and ‘washing their hands’ of any liability.”
  The Orville Corporation has placed a bounty of seven million quatloos for information leading to the location of Ambassador DeVault and the missing gist-transfer psy-weaponry.
  The United Planets is expected to sanction the corporation’s efforts at the next Security Council plenary session sometime next year, they don’t know when.
