Oojok is steadily tightening his grip on CSE-W after a number of mysterious deaths of senior HCS officers who are known to be firm secularists. General Alkenaki of the HCSAF 3rd Attack Division died when the F-40 he was flying over southern Ailier crashed, a stray missile from a nearby test range is blamed. General Yejaki of the HCS General Staff died when a ceiling fan fell off it's mounting and decapitated Yejaki who was standing underneath. General Toger of the 45th Panzer Division was reported to have committed suicide with a gatling gun.
Admiral Anderson is being maneuvered into position as the new head of the HCS and defacto head of the CSE-W though it is well known that he will do exactly what Oojok orders. Informal and secret polling of the HCS shows a majority welcome a return to the old theocracy.
