El Diablo officially joins Liberal Party

Although he has been heavily aligned to Jimmy's Liberal Party he had remained an independent Senator up until now but El Diablo today say he was a member of Jimmy's faction and would be the candidate in the Consul election at the end of the year. El Diablo said that he had a proven track record of the highest level of command and would be the best choice for the first Consul to rule alone under the changes to the Dino Republican system.

MBH has already indicated he will stand too but Imperial Order as yet has not decided on its candidate. There is still some time to go with the election campaign not legally allowed to start until July.

• An official order (which means purchasing of materials and equipment can begin) has been made for 6 Warspite 16A bombers following the lock-down of the specification and primary gate design work. Construction of the prototype will begin early next year. The DDS want 12 in total.
