This seems to be an issue with Dau, It was equippable in Itan and Odia

That's odd. I tested it on a Trident, in production, prior to release. We'll take a look.

This was due to a bug, and one particular sector not being restarted (VO-Discord running from that sector).

The sector was dropped/restarted, and the bug will also be fixed for future cases.

Thank you for fix

Maybe to prevent this in the future, VO-Discord could be moved to an inaccessible sector like the Helios sun.

The actual bug was already fixed, as I mentioned.

Moving VO-Discord to some other sector would be a lot of work, and require adding a station in that location, etc.

Eventually the Discord relay will be rewritten and moved "internally" to our own codebase and infrastructure, and will cease to be visible as a player in the game. But, this isn't a high priority right now.

The game always needs to have its dynamically-updatable content (like creating or modifying addons) be guaranteed in their propagation to existing, running sectors (critical for fixing potential exploits, adding content, etc).

Regardless of VO-Discord, other sectors may be kept online simply by generalized activity levels (already can happen in Training and Capitol sectors). So, if anything, having VO-Discord expose problems in this system is a good thing, so they can be fixed. The server architecture and game need to be robust, and not use "move the problem around" type hacks to mask major issues.
