Molab has put its fleet and army on the highest alert and called the other Eritran Free States for an emergency meeting after Oojok said the Clone Star Empire needed to expand. Although Oojok did not say Molab and the Eritran Free States would be a target analysts were quick to point out it was one of the more likely areas. "Lets face it, if you had to choose between attacking the DDS and Molab what would you choose?!" a UNP analyst who wished to remain unnamed said.
The DDS, who have not gone on alert, have also said that the CSE should be mindful of not escalating tensions in the galaxy. The Clones have replied that other powers are too quick to assume the Clones are warmongers. "The Clones are a peaceful people, it says more about other nations that they assume expansion means war." a spokesclone said, though he did not elaborate.
