Riots on Cloneworld as discontent rises

There have been reports of riots in Ailier City, Beyond Micom and several smaller cities across Cloneworld as a moribund economy has led to higher than expected unemployment in the Clone Star Empire. Many of the rioters called for higher spending on social programmes and employment creation, which of course would mean cutting the defence budget.

Oojok may be forced to do something quickly, it is thought he may order an emergency economic stimulus package costing around 1.1 billion zarks. It is expected the large defence budget may be raided for much of this money.
