OTA surrenders, HCS move in

The Oscar Terran Army (OTA) after weeks of bitter fighting against the Clone Army of Oscar (CAO) deep in human territory has surrendered to the CAO after a promise by the CAO that there would not be reprisals against humans by the victorious Clones. The CAO said an independent third-party would ensure the safety of the humans. Within hours of the agreement elements of the 15th Legion of the HCS landed near OTA positions from 3 Intruder landing ships and took up positions around the human capital.

The DDS have called upon the HCS to leave Oscar but know that is unlikely at the moment. They know the DDS are too stretched at the moment and not inclined to risk war against the Clones over Oscar. The HCS have said that they will not be adding Oscar to the Clone Star Empire under "current conditions".

Around 200 OTA and senior human officials have fled Oscar with the help of DDS Prowler units. It is thought the "lack of reprisals" promise was not enough to persuade them!
