General Gouy-Biut is well known for controversy, often appearing on Clone TV to make inflammatory statements. His recent appearance on a Proxima TV channel sparked a sensation across the UNP as he said the 4th Clone War would begin within the next 10 years. "There is no doubt in my mind that the Clone Defence Forces are preparing for a 4th Clone War with the DDS, or whatever they are called these days." he said.
He added, "We [the Clones] have developed strategic weapons and are now closing the space fleet gap. By the late 2120s we will be ready to fight Sparta again and finally defeat them!"
New Sparta did not get involved in the controversy though another former HCS officer, General Yuek said that Gouy-Biut is always spouting nonsense and reminded people that he had been kicked out of the Clone Army for ordering the execution of DDS prisoners during the 1st Clone War when he had commanded the 35th Infantry Division. "Gouy-Biut is well known for his hatred of humans, i would not take much notice of what the old fool says." Yuek said.
However some in NS and the UNP will know that there is a kernel of truth in what the general said. The Clones have finally got over their financial problems that stalled their development for over a decade and are now improving their armed forces.
