Vice-President Knobhead gave a wide ranging interview with Proximan TV earlier today, while most of the interview was about his career and his time as NS Commander he was also asked about the merger.
Proxima News : Do you think the merger is a good thing?
Knobhead : Yes, I was a bit sceptical when Sea Urchin first mooted it but now I see it as the way forward for both New Sparta and the UNP. It will formalise the relationship. NS has been the defacto military of the UNP for years, it is time to make things simpler.
PN : How do you see it benefiting NS?
KB : It will save on some bureaucracy having direct funding. Also it will get rid of some uncertainty. I think it will also help us become more professional.
PN : And down sides?
KB : Well we lose some independence potentially. We will have to see how much the UNP will try to interfere in how NS is run.
PN : How do you feel about the Epiphany name rumoured to be NS' new name after the merger?
KB : Well I quite like it, maybe its an Epiphany we have finally had that the NS and UNP should merge.
