El Diablo has also formalised the arrangement where the SS-D and CSS elite units use 6th Legion facilities for administration and organisation. The elite units will now be officially part of the 6th Legion and thus officially under Jimmy's command.
Relations between the SS and El Diablo are at a low, a young man who happened to look like El Diablo was attacked when he was seen near an SS barracks in Baeou. By the time his identity was established he had been viciously beaten and raped by half a brigade of SS stormtroopers.
- The HCS Navy have come under air attack from Cloneworld pirates during an operation in the Selanga Archipelago. The aircraft carrier CNSS Cloneworld was approached by an armed UAV but it was shot down by one of the Olana destroyer escorts. As the number of F-40Ns being carrier capable is at an all-time low (only 4 are now available and these have to be kept in cotton wool) the HCSN currently does not maintain CAP on carrier voyages. As the first F-45Ks are due next year the HCSN may decide to resume CAP and use up the remaining hours of its fighters, one source said "Withdrawing a clapped out fighter is a lot cheaper than replacing a sunk aircraft carrier!"
