Benito is to meet Oojok on Paragon later this month. It will be the first time Oojok has left Cloneworld since he had his absolute powers restored in the wake of the death of Captain Clone. Benito has been quiet on Oojok, not condemning him as some expected. It is thought Benito already has a verbal agreement from Oojok not to interfere in the eastern half of the empire in return for support.
It is rumoured Oojok will boost CSE-E's defence budget by 5 billion next year and increase the number of ships allocated to CSE-E's space fleet. In return Benito will recognise Oojok as overall Emperor of the empire though Benito himself will remain commander-in-chief (and defacto ruler) in the east.
