Captain Clone and Benito Clone have concluded an extensive summit on Paragon, a meeting that hardly made any headlines so far except the announcement of the extra space claimed by the Clone Star Empire. The two, and their staffs, have conducted a full review of how the HCS is organised and run across the two sides of the empire and come up with a strategic plan for the future development of the HCS.
A new central development agency (called Central Military Development Agency CMDA) will replace the existing co-ordination agency and look after the design, development and co-ordination of military equipment to take into account the needs of both sides. If possible designs will be flexible enough to satisfy both sides' needs as the HCS wishes to avoid too many different types of equipment being in service.
Production will be decentralised, currently 84% of military equipment is produced on Cloneworld and the aim is to reduce this to 70% by 2120. New factories will be built on Randalf 74, Austini 55 and Woloron 12 to replace ageing factories on Cloneworld.
The HCS will also be altering it's foreign policy following the problems with Sirikwan. A more asserive yet holistic policy will be pursued though what this actually means was not detailed.
