HCS to station legion on each new planet

The HCS say they will station a legion on both new planets which they say will become assets to the empire. Oojok is understood to have agreed the transfer of a legion from HCS-W to HCS-E to bolster Benito's available manpower. It does mean that both Kontai and Unatel Gamma 540 will have much larger garrison forces than most planets in the empire.

However the DDS think the sheer manpower to be deployed will not be permanent and is just to intimidate the other Eritran states. The DDS think that within 2-3 years the forces on both planets will be reduced to a couple of brigades.
