More than a hundred mining crews who had been waiting without a craft, some of them since late summer, are back at work. A fault in the hull register kept assigning craft back to the crews first listed against them, which left working crews ashore and a number of runs stalled partway. The register has been corrected, the stalled runs have been closed out, and every crew waiting ashore now has a craft. Within minutes of the change, departures from Vera Orbital were the busiest anyone could remember.
The Association asks returning crews to bear in mind that Halden Reef, Tolvan Shallows and Veyra Trench are now being worked at close to what their breakers produce. Runs may come back lighter than crews remember. The commons are still open, and Kessari Drift is still there.
