The HCS has been put on heightened alert after the head of the Clone Secret Service, and a key Friar loyalist, died when his VIP plane (a VC-370) crashed in southern Micom. The cause of the crash is unknown, the VC-370s have an excellent safety record and the weather was fine. At first some feared it was Windy arrived to begin his revenge on The Friar but then cooler heads noted that Windy was still far from Clone space in a Rome corvette.
The Friar has ordered an investigation into the crash.
