Starbot has made it's first major ship order since leaving New Sparta. In a multi-billion zark deal they have ordered 10 Shark SKS frigates from the Clones. In a major revitalisation of the transport arm of their fleet they have also ordered 3 Loader TYCS transports and 3 Omiten TYJS oilers.
Head of the military K-1 said the new ships would help ensure Starbotian security post-NS. He also said that military alliances would be sought with a number of powers including the Clones. A joint exercise will be held next year.
