The Clones have withdrawn their personnel from a joint military co-operation team with New Sparta. The team had been set up 3 years ago to discuss and evaluate joint operations and shared best practice. It was always a small scale operation (at most 5 Clones were involved) but it had been hoped the team would be the start of a greater friendship between the CDF and NS.
However Admiral Anderson has ordered the withdrawal after criticism from NS to the Clones after the sale of Clone Space Missiles to the Dinos.
