The Dino News (which is usually on the ball with this kind of thing) has reported that the first space battle between HCS warships loyal to Oojok and Benito has taken place near Woloron 12. Three Benito ships (thought to be all Kalahati Tull 2s) were attacked by 5 HCS ships as the Benito ships approached Woloron 12. The Benito ships were chased off, none of the ships on either side was seriously damaged.
The rebellion on Woloron 12 is increasing, though Benito forces on the planet are thought to be outnumbered by Oojok loyalists.
In other news three bomb blasts rocked Beyond Micom, the second city on Cloneworld. A HCS spokesman said Benito terrorists were behind the attacks on a HCS recruitment office and the homes of two Generals. It is thought General Utren-Ulim was killed by one of the blasts. He was the commander of a notable panzer division of the 3rd Legion.
