Captain Clone and Benito Clone, leaders of their respective halves of the Clone Star Empire, will hold an emergency summit at the end of the next week on Petric. They will discuss the Xenon situation and how the fleet can be improved and increased in size.
Captain Clone wants a major increase in the size of the fleet but Benito does not want the budget for the other arms of the HCS to be affected, especially where it impacts on the weapon procurement programmes for his own half of the empire. Benito is likely to end his objection to the emergency fleet building plan in return for some concessions including the siting of CSM on Austini 55 and the diversion of some funds from CSE-W's army budget to CSE-E. That of course will not go down well with Captain Clone's Generals!
