The Clones have said they are interested in the DDS' proposed deal exchanging surplus Clone Army vehicles for UNP militaries and equipment for Cherrybee helicopters. The Shiner, who has masterminded the deal, has met with Deputy Emperor Sleeze on Cloneworld though the Clones are pushing for more locally made content in the helicopters.
The Shiner says the plan has been carefully costed and would cost the DDS just over a billion zarks over a 5 year period but in return they would have strong military forces on 6 key planets.
