When the Clone Star Empire reverted to rule by a triumvirate The Friar chose Cloneworld as his capital, Captain Clone chose Aquaworld and Benito Austini 55. However now Captain Clone has announced he shall be moving the HQ of his HCS staff and administrative offices to Cloneworld, to HCS GHQ in fact.
The Friar was caught unaware by this announcement when asked by reporters when he was opening a new water treatment works in eastern Ailier. He said it would break the agreement of the triumvirate. However in reality there is little The Friar can do about it. His share of the HCS is small, largely consisting of Army Group Reserve and some category B regiments in the west of Cloneworld. The core of HCS on Cloneworld including Army Group Centre and the 1st Legion are already under the control of Captain Clone as is the HCS Space Fleet in that region. Benito is too far away to really make any move and in any event if he did it would lead to civil war.
Captain Clone said that his move did not impinge on The Friar's important duties. "He can open dress shops and continue to plant trees." he quipped. However this puts The Friar under extra pressure, he has already become largely powerless because of Captain Clone's political maneuvers.
