Oojok orders fundamental review of HCS

Oojok has ordered a fundamental (but also rapid) review of the entire HCS. The review of all branches of the Clone armed forces will look at current and projected astral-political needs and whether the HCS is best suited to meet these. There is a feeling that the HCS still relies too much on monolithic force in the form of large standing armies and air forces and the review has been ordered to see if this is true and whether a smaller more nimble HCS is needed instead.

Behind the review is of course a desire to save money. The HCS is a vast organisation which requires billions of zarks in budget just for running costs of existing stock never mind any new equipment or forces. Oojok says the review must report back before the end of Q2 2113.
