In a sign that Deputy Emperor Terin, Oojok's son and heir, is being prepared for eventual succession as leader of the Clone Star Empire he gave a speech at the annual commemoration of the Liberation of Cloneworld (the date the DDS was defeated in the First Clone War). Until now only Oojok and Captain Clone have ever given speeches at the commemoration so this is a notable honour for Terin.
Terin spent most of his speech attacking the UNP and NS. He said that NS attempts to hold the Clones down would fail. Never again would Cloneworld be under the human yoke he vowed. He trumpeted the Clone Space Missile as being the means to turn human worlds into radioactive wastelands.
Relations between the UNP and CSE are currently quite good so this using this kind of inflammatory rhetoric at the moment is strange however some analysts say it is purely for a Clone audience. "Terin wants the Clones to see him as a demi-god alongside his father, the easiest way is to rattle a few sabres."
