DDS Commander Firefly has encouraged the Clones to accept a military alliance with the DDS instead of taking Utrek coin. He said that if the Clones accepted the alliance terms then the DDS would buy Clone built warships, what exactly the DDS would buy is unknown but it is rumoured the DDS are interested in beefing up their Amphibious Warfare Squadron which uses the HCS Intruder landing ship as one of its major types.
Oojok is still considering the terms of the alliance which include the Clones giving up recent conquests Kontai and Unatel Gamma. This is something Oojok is keen to do (as he never wanted Benito to invade these far-off poor planets anyway) though Benito is said to be firmly against the plans. Oojok and Benito will hold a face-to-face summit next week. Oojok will hold another meeting with Firefly before the end of the year.
