The Clones have placed an order for eight more Mekit MK4Y cruisers from the Rectoids. The Clones already operate sixteen Mekits (eight MK4As and eight upgraded MK4Ys). The Rectoids will also carry up an upgrade of the eight MK4As to bring them up to the MK4Y standard.
It is rumoured the Clones are paying for the ships with interstellar missile technology. Not CSM as such but the means for the Rectoids to develop their own version.
