With a number of Free Eritran worlds on the Clone Star Empire's eastern border now buying DDS warships a fear for the Clones is that the Eritrans may unite their fleets to form a formidable combat force. These fears are well grounded as Molab, Helinox and Sear N7 have just held a joint-exercise.
A combined fleet of Molab and Helinox ships comprising an Isometric, 3 Pentekonters and 2 Extenders (albiet apart from 1 Pentekonter all Molab) with sailors from Sear N7 was formed and it took part in exercises against 3 ex-Utrek Kalahati Tuuls operated by Sear N7. It is estimated by 2112 the Eritrans could form a combined fleet of 5 Isometrics and 10 Pentekonters plus support units and older types, such a force would pose the HCS a very serious challenge.
