More details have emerged on the sale of 5 Coril-E shuttles plus a licence to build the type to the Clones. The Clones will be able to build up to 40 Corils themselves, with an option for a further 25. The deal is very valuable to UNP companies with the engine, computers and other key systems being provided to the Clones.
The total value of the order has been quoted at 95 million zarks plus the exchange of HCS kit up to a value of 100 million zarks. Its likely the DDS are to get a quantity of land weapons (they are keen on some T-88++ tanks for combat training) and aircraft. It is rumoured the DDS are also keen on the new Horizon HZ unmanned transport spacecraft though the Clones might not be keen on selling a brand new unproven type.
