A fleet of HCS warships has been spotted leaving Cloneworld and heading to Oscar, the planet torn between Clone and Human. The fleet is said to include 3 Intruder amphibious warfare ships and some unconfirmed reports say a HCS panzer brigade and 2 infantry brigades are embarked aboard. A Tiamon carrier has also been spotted near Oscar and can be expected to carry a squadron of F-45s (or F-40s) and A-84 attack aircraft to support any landing.
The DDS have urgently scrambled 3 ships from Proxima 7 which are now en route to Oscar. The ships were not specified but are thought to include a Pulsar and a Panther and should be able to reach Oscar first because of the slower speed of the HCS ships. The DDS have also warned the Clones not to escalate the Oscar conflict "beyond the point where the DDS will have to consider intervening their own ground forces".
Sources on Cloneworld have said that the HCS are most likely testing DDS reactions and will not land the troops (though may land some of the weapons for Clone Army of Oscar troops to use) but truthfully nobody knows where this might lead.
