Terin, Oojok's son and heir and the head of Clone Star Empire (East), has denied that the deployment of up to sixty land-mobile CSM to Miliaris - which can strike targets in the Free Eritran States - is an escalation of tension between the Clones and Eritrans (and hence New Sparta).
Terin said the CSM were purely for defense against any hostile acts of aggression on this flank of the empire. Terin would not confirm or deny if the CSMs had already been targeted against Eritran bases and cities.
