Clones furious about cancelled orders

Ten Shark frigates and six transports (three each Loader and Omiten) had been ordered by the Starbotians during the K-2 regime, orders worth over two billion zarks to the Clones but now Starbot has rejoined the UNP the orders have been cancelled. It is thought no less than three of the Sharks and two Omiten were in advanced stages of construction ready for delivery next year.

Starbot had only paid a ten percent deposit so the Clones have lost out on a large amount of revenue, though the ship orders should be easily converted to other export customers or for the Clone Space Navy. However the Clones are naturally rather disappointed. Deputy Emperor Sleeze has called the cancellation a crime against commerce.

NS will also miss out on orders however, six Dependers and two Olympus carriers had also been on order. These orders have also been cancelled.
