On the 15th of November a referendum was held on Oscar to decide if the planet should apply to join the Clone Star Empire or not. Heavy security was mounted across the planet to guard against a terrorist attack but there were only 2 reported incidents and 1 injury when a mortar bomb was fired at a polling station. It missed and instead landed in a chicken farm. No Clones or Humans were killed though 158 chickens perished.
The HCS and CAO have denied they were heavy-handed with security and intimidated those against the unification. However it is probably not a coincidence that protests against unification were banned for "security reasons" but those for were allowed to take place.
The result of the vote will be announced in December.
