Tarbotians establish "Kantalda District"; HCS meeting

The Tarbotians have named their annexed ex-ABBO territory the "Kantalda District" of the Tarbot Empire. ABBO 01 has been renamed Kantalda and will be the capital of this vast new district of the empire. Reconstruction on the planet has now begun but the Tarbotians say it will take around a year to have sufficient infrastructure in place to begin operations on the planet. Until then the district will be controlled from an orbital station backed up with administrative staff on New Tarbot, the capital of the neighbouring New Tarbot District.

In what might be a highly significant move a HCS team is currently travelling to New Tarbot for a meeting with Tarbot officials. The Clones say they wish to establish normal relations with their new neighbours. There may be a chance of some sort of relationship, unlike the DDS, Dinos and of course Starbotians the Clones have never been at war with the Tarbotians.

• Alternative Clone aircraft manufacter CCA have unveiled a new wide-body airliner called the CCA495. The HCSAF have already shown an interest as their fleet of wide-body airlifters, the C-360, is now in the final stages of being withdrawn and the state manufacturer CAC have as yet not announced any plans for a replacement.
