The Clone Navy has called a halt to its offensive against pirates on Cloneworld after admitting most of the targets it had hit were former pirate sites. A spokesclone said "We need to update our intelligence on the pirates, too many of our bombs and missiles hit abandoned jetties."
Its thought the Clone Navy may now go ahead with a purchase of 4 intelligence gathering ships which has been planned for some time. These converted transport ships will gather signal and photographic evidence of pirate operations. The Clone Navy also plan to increase the number of their K72 Mustang reconnaissance sorties too.
The CN have said that the operation did allow them to fully test a range of weapons, which is what some observers think the offensive was all about anyway.
