Benito Clone, despite rumours he is planning to annex Utrek territory (quite unlikely most analysts agree), has requested a quote for procuring 20 Reptoli Tuuls for his space fleet. The move has been sanctioned by the HCS Space Fleet Command. As yet the Utrek have not replied though signs are they are seriously thinking about it. The Utrek are, to be frank, perilously short of cash because of their disastrous war against the DDS, the economic hit from the DMZ and the draining conflict with the Mantae.
