The TCS Devereaux, a Copernicus class planetological research vessel was destroyed by a Kraken class Ship Killer while investigating asteroids rich in Borinium and Kilrantium in the Kilrah system. A wormhole had opened nearby and the Kraken had travelled through it only moments earlier. All deployed TOBY drones were also destroyed. The TCS Devereaux managed to launch a distress beacon shortly before its destruction.
