At a joint media briefing with UNP Defence chief Sea Urchin, Torus has announced the new name for New Sparta. NS has now become the United Nations of Planets Defence Force, though UNDF will be the usual name used. Torus said the new name would be rolled out over the following year, the priority for UNDF was to prepare for any reprisals by the MBO.
"The MBO are our greatest threat." Torus said, "They possess a large fleet which has been augmented by the best of our technology which they looted. Their cloning technology has been defeated but they have many more ways to attack us so all of us must be ready."
