The Clones have called DDS plans to form an army battlegroup on Starbot and to station worm-drive equipped warships there as an "escalation of aggression" and have warned the DDS to stay out of Clone sovereign affairs. A spokesman on Starbot replied that the Clones were showing hypocrisy. "Starbot is a member of the DDS and hence stationing DDS forces on Starbot is a matter for Starbot and the DDS only. The Clones should stay out of our sovereign affairs."
The Starbotians have said they will add a brigade of troops to the battlegroup as well as artillery and armoured detachments. The Starbotian Army is rather obsolete though, plans to modernise its equipment have been made but ironically would involve buying equipment from the Clones. However as the Starbotians have been Dino allies for centuries (the Starbotians of course giving the Dinos superluminal spaceflight capabilities) then its possible Starbot could buy Dino built equipment.
