Molab bullish about Eritran military power

Leading Free Eritran States member Molab has said it will be investing in more warships soon and is also in talks with the other EFS members about creating a joint amphibious warfare force. Such a force would operate like the shared EFS mine warfare squadron which is operated by Molab but saw funding contributions from the other EFS members who also contribute crew.

A statement by the Molabite government said that the EFS military sought to become a "full-spectrum" arm with a powerful multi-function space fleet and a potent land force.

Molab also welcomed Unatel Gamma 504 and Kontai, recently freed from Clone control, into the EFS as full members. Neither was yet in a position to purchase their own ships but would contribute in other ways including crew and financial support.
