Ringar, Solar Major System - It was learned today that some very experimental WarTech equipment has been stolen enroute to their main labs at Ringar. The transport was hijacked four days ago and a complete search of the area by WarTech Security Forces and Spacefleet have turned up nothing.

The transport, WTTF Golden Shower, was suspected of carrying the next generation ship-based electron battery, an improved version of the current statis screen, a military-grade semi-powered armor and WarTech's newest infantry weapon, the KE-3000.

The transport was traveling from an unidentified area that was being used for testing purposes. WarTech refuses to release the location since it may be used for future testings. There is speculation that WarTech has a secret testing facility on the one of the dead worlds around the pulsar Tarterus. The unique high-radition from the pulsar makes it a good place for some tests that cannot be accomplished in the laboratory.
