Marcus has finally agreed to the use of air power to help defeat the well dug-in Benito fanatics in the Austini 55 capital. Four A-85 COIN aircraft made pinpoint strikes on rebel held buildings in the park. The targets were chosen to minimise civilian casualties. One A-85 was hit by ground fire but was able to return to base.
Marcus has said that the resolve of the Clone people is strong and that the rebels should drop their weapons and surrender. Current casualties is now thought to be over 730.
