The HCS is to suffer further budget cuts as the Clone Star Empire's economy continues to struggle. The Head of the HCS Admiral Anderson said the cuts would be a lot smaller than the last round though analysts think all the "fat" was trimmed last time so even small cuts will hurt the HCS.
The HCS Navy and HCS Air Force are likely to bear the brunt of the cuts with plans for the Cloneworld surface fleet scaled back and F-40 withdrawals speeding up. Firm plans for the cuts will be released later in the week.
