Leaders arrive on Austini 55 ahead of Benito funeral

Emperor Oojok has arrived on Austini 55 courtesy of MBH (who has chosen to remain on his ship for the time being). Consul El Diablo also arrived earlier today representing the DTA. DDS Commander Firefly is due to arrive early tomorrow ahead of Monday's funeral of Emperor Benito of the CSE-E who died in an explosion a few days ago.

A representative of the Utrek Federation is also due to arrive tomorrow. It is thought a Tarbotian representative may also attend though this has not been confirmed. The HCS and allied special forces have locked down Austini 55 in what must be one of the biggest security operations in recent history.
  • With production now finally underway of the F-45C/K attention is now turning to the next generation of HCSAF fighter in the 2120s and beyond. The HCS have provided 20 million zarks of funding for research into future air superiority. A team of HCS and industry experts will examine a number of options for "what next?" including manned and unmanned options. The HCSAF have a big lead in fighter design over the DDS though the DDS have their own F-10X project for the 2120s which is expected to close the gap.
