- Benito, commander of CSE-E has blasted the HCS after plans to cut the army by 3 legions were leaked. Benito is incensed because 2 of the legions are in his part of the empire, which already has less military material than it should. Benito went on to accuse Oojok of trying to weaken the CSE-E in order to force Benito from office. The HCS and Oojok made no comment.
