Senior HCS-E officer (and Benito loyalist) killed by car bomb

Field Marshal Holreken, the commanding officer of the 2nd Legion which was Benito's vanguard and himself a Benito loyalist, has been killed by a car bomb on his way to work on Austini 55. The bomb destroyed his car killing him and his driver. Marcus has put the planet on lock down though that did not prevent soldiers from the 2nd Legion attacking Clone government offices.

Marcus has appealed for calm and said that an investigation will begin immediately. With Benito gone it is feared that there could be a jockeying for position behind the new regime of which this terrorist attack could be just the start.
