News that Oscar would soon vote on whether it should join the Clone Star Empire prompted the DDS to bolster it's forces at nearby New Jakarta and form Force West. However the feeling now eminating from the DDS is that Oscar joining the CSE is pretty much a done deal. Thus the forces at New Jakarta are now longer considered to try and deter unification but handle any CSE incursion.
As relations with the Clones are reasonable at the moment and the prospect of war with them highly unlikely (neither side really wants the 4th Clone War any time soon) it could be Force West is disbanded sooner than expected. A permanent patrol deployment will be based at New Jakarta however.
