Clone officers form group opposed to devolution

A group of senior Clone Army officers, including 3 generals it is claimed though all are remaining anonymous for now, has formed a pressure group called "Classic HCS" which is opposed to the Clone Armed Forces Devolution which will see the bulk of the army and air force devolved to national government control and funding.

Classic HCS issued a press release where they called for a return of the massive armed forces of the Clone Wars. "Strength is in unity. Weakness lies in separation."

The head of the Clone Defence Forces Admiral Anderson was unimpressed however. "The days of massive armies that can field 100s of 1000s of men in 1 offensive are long gone though this group do not seem to realise that. The empire is built already, we need forces to guard and patrol what we already have. We don't need huge panzer armies parading around waiting for a peer enemy to fight when there are none."
