The death of Colonel Volinsoy, pushed off a hotel balcony in the city of Celona in Eastern Ailier by SOT terrorists may seem just one of dozens of attacks by SOT but this has put The Friar under massive pressure from his fellow Triumvirs as Volinsoy was Captain Clone's half-brother. Captain Clone is said to have travelled immediately to Cloneworld once news broke of the death last week and after attending Volinsoy's funeral he headed for The Friar's palace where he furiously told The Friar to end the SOT attacks or face the consequences.
Those consequences are quite obvious. Within hours of Captain Clone departing Cloneworld back to his HQ on Aquaworld the powerful 3rd Space Fleet moved from it's usual location near Sandworld to a position in the Epsilon Eridani system, that system containing Cloneworld of course. The 1st and 7th Legions, the best units in Captain Clone's HCS have also been mobilised and put on short-notice for embarking aboard assault transports.
Benito Clone has also put the pressure on The Friar, saying that the SOT must be crushed by the end of the year or he and Captain Clone would hold talks on The Friar's replacement...
