Oojok has said the
Clone Defence Forces will get an extra 3 billion zark boost to its budget with the money to be shared equally by the army, air force and navy (the space fleet having already received a "gift" earlier in the year). The reason why Oojok has dipped into the empire's reserves is unknown, in the past such incidents have been to head off dissent in the higher echelons of the military though there are no indications of such this time. It may be Oojok simply wishes to cement the generally more content military after the demise of
Benito.
The 3 branches of the military are now to decide how to spend their billion zarks. The
Clone Navy has already said it will spend the money on 2 more
Olana destroyers and some intelligence gathering ships.
- The DDS has dropped its alert status to GREEN.
