Wolkapi demoted, Terin now heir of Oojok

Wolkapi, who is still languishing in a Dino Army gaol, has been stripped of his status as Oojok's heir apparent. Oojok is understood to be enraged by his eldest son's behaviour on Dino-Land where he tried to assassinate a government minister (though to be Justice Minister Araniza). The incident threatens to derail the purchase of worm drives which Oojok believes are vital for the future of the Clone Star Empire. Ronald has suspended negotiations and there are no signs as to when, or even if, talks will resume.

Oojok's younger son Terin has been named the heir apparent, a slightly unusual move for the Dinos who tend to go for age seniority though not unknown. Terin has done well in his duties to date and is currently Deputy Emperor of CSE-E, some feel he would make a much better future Emperor than Wolkapi in any case.

Wolkapi is not expected to stay on Dino-Land for long, it is expected he will be deported and released back into Clone custody within days. The welcome he will get from Oojok is not expected to be warm.
