Captain Clone has addressed the Clone Star Empire (West) after Oojok's morale-restoring victory against the Xenon. Captain Clone's problem is that many are associating him with the previous disaster and Oojok's victory is seen as a sign that maybe he should be in charge of CSE-W and not Captain Clone.
The Captain praised Oojok though also lamented the loss of the crew of CSS Vonoraky which was lost in the battle. He said that the Xenon had been shown up as being unable to meet the HCS in battle on equal terms. "Let us not forget the previous disaster was due to unbridled trickery and deceit. When the Xenon meet us face-to-face they cannot match us. In future we will be doubly careful when dealing with the Xenon."
Analysts are now wondering if the Xenon may now seek peace. It is not known how strong their fleet is but unconfirmed intelligence reports indicate losing 7 ships in 1 battle was a loss they will not be able to brush aside easily. It is unlikely the Clones will seek to continue the conflict for now.
