Last year the
Clones set up their own exports agency to try and muscle in on the growing market for space craft and other weapons. They have just secured their first major sale (not counting sales like
Arit and
Sirikwan which were instigated before the setting up of the
Clone Export Agency). UNP aligned planet
Artic has ordered 3 re-conditioned
Type A transports, 250
TRV-34 Snowcat AFVs, 60
MH-26 helicopters (second hand) plus around 10,000
AR-100 assault rifles and other firearms. The total value of the deal is said to be 970 million zarks.
The 3 transports are ex-HCS and will be operated by the state owned Artic Transport Company as well as being available to the Artic military's Space Corps who already operate 2 Pentekonters jointly owned with New Arit.
