Virtually the entire HCS transport and amphibious fleet is being deployed, as well as the HCS' entire stockpile of emergency relief materials, on the resettlement of the Zone race from their shattered irradiated homeland to Colom, an obscure planet of the Clone Empire. It is reported that nearly 50,000 Zones a day are arriving at 10 camps being hurriedly built across the planet and are being housed in huge temporary camp sites. The Dinos are also assisting with a package of assistance including emergency rations, anti-radiation drugs and 30 million zarks financial assistance. It is also reported the Dinos are providing assistance to the hard pressed HCS transport fleet. An unconfirmed report also states the UNP have also provided some assistance.
However this assistance will remain a secret as hatred of humans is high among the Zones. A riot occurred in one camp yesterday after a group of human soldiers in the HCS (Cloneworld native humans) were accidentally sent to one of the camps. The Zones exploded in rage and nearly lynched the humans. 16 Zones were killed in the riot and 4 HCS soldiers. The HCS have sent all human HCS personnel (some 210 on the planet) back to base and sent extra troops to guard the camps.
The resettlement is just getting going too, when extra commercial and military assets (including transport ships from New Arit, Starbot and the Dinos) get on stream the number of Zones arriving on Colom every day could pass 150,000.
