The DDS intend Charlotte to be their hub for monitoring, deterring and (maybe one day) combating Tarbotian activities in the Rim Worlds. Building of a new orbital dock and centre of operations will begin next year.
- Next month is likely to be the final month of service for the iconic J88 (T-88) tank in Clone Army service. The J88 Eliminator was the first Clone tank that actually worked and in its final guise the J88++ Eliminator III it turned the tide in the Clone Wars. Amazingly nearly 220,000 were built but only about 150 remain in service and they will be withdrawn at the start of September. Hundreds will remain in museums across the Clone Star Empire (and beyond) and it is estimated over 4,000 will continue to serve in other armies across the galaxy, a number the Clones are keen to increase with more sales.
