A SOT aligned blog is reporting that The Friar has had a secret meeting with leaders of the Flag Of Destiny, the new group that claims to represent the millions of Oojok believers and are demanding the end to the banning of the Church Of Oojok. The Friar's Office refused to comment on the claims.
The blog goes on to say that the Flag Of Destiny are asking for the ban on their religion to be lifted and for Oojok's exile to be lifted partially allowing him to attend religious ceremonies on Cloneworld and be recognised legally as a God in Cloneworld law. The Friar is thought to be considering these requests as a way to defuse the actions of Sword Of Truth who continue their random attacks on HCS officers.

Dr Forbidden talks advanced missiles and Panther tech
Dr Forbidden recently gave a technical briefing to the press and spoke about technologies that may be used in the next generations of DDS weapons. He said that the next generation of transphasic missile (TPM) will be smaller allowing for a higher weapon load on ships. These 2nd generation TPMs would have improved terminal guidance, a higher speed and improved transphasic cloak equipment.
He said that the third generation, to be introduced in the next decade, might have built-in teleportation devices to help the missile evade countermeasures. It might also teleport into the target once it got close enough. The DDS are also looking at improved warheads, even maybe using anti-matter.
Dr Forbidden then said that it was possible that an enemy may develop weapons as powerful as the TPM and the DDS had to protect against it. He said the Panther destroyer was the first ship in the known galaxy designed to survive multiple transphasic missile hits. He said the Panther had a distributed power grid with 3 separate reactor cores. Each core was ejectable if it was about to explode and had a containment forcefield if it exploded before it could be ejected. The forcefield would prevent a core explosion destroying the rest of the ship. This, as well as Open Architecture and Off-site Processing would allow a ship to still operate even if it had been badly damaged.
The DDS were also working on the next generation of passive sensors, vital for ships that needed to maintain their stealth settings. He said that the DDS may roll out improved passive sensors by the end of the next decade that nearly had the sensitivity of current generation active sensors. He said that it was likely that the DDS would stop development of active sensors to concentrate on the passive. "DDS ships in combat zones can spent weeks in cloak, we need to really improve their eyes and ears in these situations."

Friar losing control of Cloneworld?
With Sword Of Truth attacks continuing daily (though much reduced since HCS officers began taking much greater precautions) now the authorities are facing a new threat from an open uprising by followers of Oojok. Around 100 Clones, calling themselves devout followers of Oojok, seized the small town centre of Telia, a town south of Ailier City and forced police to leave the centre without their weapons. After 2 hours of demonstrations and prayers the Clones dispersed and the police returned.
The next day 6 more groups tried to repeat the action in other small towns across the south of Ailier, in the town of Pewin they were stopped by HCS troops but in the other 5 locations managed to seize control and held peaceful demonstrations.
The group, who call themselves the Flag Of Destiny, say they are not part of Sword Of Truth and will seek a peaceful way to have the return of Oojok to Cloneworld. However they warned that their patience was not unlimited. They claim to represent the millions of devout Clones who have been waiting since the coup to see what happened. Now they are ready to bring about the return of their God.

Character of the week : Tsunami
Tsunami is the assistant of The Shiner but is also known as a laughing stock and the whipping boy of Windy and his acolytes. He has been the assistant of The Shiner for years now though his worth is of unknown value. When Windy wanted to get at Shiner Tsunami was easily despatched out of the way such as when Windy turned Tsunami into a giant coin.
Tsunami isn't totally useless though, he has occasionally given Shiner some advice. Well at least once anyway, we think. Tsunami was replaced secretly by HCS agent Slayer at some stage who tried to destabilise the DDS. Tsunami was assumed dead but he was discovered locked in his wardrobe in his quarters where he had been banging his head on the wall for 2 years trying to attract attention.

New Terran Sea and other fleet news
The latest Terran Sea frigate has been accepted into service. 3216 Andaman Sea was named at a ceremony at Solaris Base and will join the patrol pool. Work has now begun on fitting out the first of the Type C Terran Sea frigates (3218).
As already said the Feeder class transports will be named after fallen DDS heroes, the first of the class will be christened Rollerball. There have already been jokes about it being full of holes. The final batch of Pentekonters (bar the final example) have left the production line for fitting out. The first 2 Rome class OPVs will be laid down early next month.
