Clones to buy worm drives

The Clones are currently negotiating with the Dinos in a massive deal to buy W1A worm drives. A 10 billion zark deal (paid over 3 years) will see 30 worm drives delivered as well as help on integration, engineering and geometry development. It is thought the Clones will upgrade their Soulaki battlecruiser fleet.

The purchase will be controversial with Dino Army and DDS elements opposed to the spread of the technology to the Clones. Some Clone Defence Force elements are also against the deal as it will take money from other programs, possibly including the new build Molentic Tuul MTM2 which may be pushed back to 2120.
