New DDS ship name angers Clones

The next ship in the Solaris III class of destroyer is currently undergoing proving trials and testing before it joins the fleet in a few weeks. It has raised eyebrows because of it's name. Now the Solaris III class are to be named after stars and the second ship D162 will be called Epsilon Eridani.

This has angered the Clones because that is the UNP name for... the star in the Cloneworld system (the Clones just call the star "Star"). Ultra nationalist nutcase Rejan Hewaki has called the naming of the destroyer an "affront to the Clone nation" and a "seizure of Clone sovereignty by fascist hew-mon forces". The DDS meanwhile deny any offence was meant, "We already have some ships named after stars, the Starsystem class, and there arn't that meant reasonable star names in our area of space to use. We don't really want to start naming our ships stuff like Delta Laambe 780419B." Sea Urchin told reporters.
