Clones go to second highest alert status

The Clone Defence Forces have been placed on Red 2 status, the Clone equivalent of the New Sparta ORANGE status, the next step down in their alert scheme from actual war. The decision is said to have been made by Deputy Emperor Sleeze and all Clone space and land forces are now on full readiness.

Oojok and Admiral Anderson were returning from a meeting with Terin on Austini 55. As per the protocol for Red 2 status Oojok's ship was diverted to another planet in the CSE (judging by the most usual flight path probably Petric) where he will be guarded at a secret location before being collected by an elite Red Lizard unit to be taken to Cloneworld.

New Sparta are said to be a bit bemused as to the Clone alert status as no apparent threats are known. NS Commander Knobhead has ordered the NS alert status increased to AMBER as a precaution though units near the Clone border will be on a localised ORANGE.
