Lornaca Melnig is one of the most recent additions to the Clone Star Empire and has always been an awkward possession for the Clones. The Clones have maintained stronger Clone Defence Forces on the planet than might be expected, and it is one of the few planets in the empire without it's own territorial army (yet - though one is planned).
A new group who call themselves Free Lornaca have begun a new bombing campaign, targeting CDF premises. A car bomb in the capital outside a CDF recruitment office killed six, two more bombs in the capital injured dozens. The worst attack came two days later when a suicide bomber smashed through the gates of an army camp. The attack was followed up by a mortar attack. Over twenty Clone soldiers were killed.
Lornaca Melnig has been put on the highest alert. Clone Air Force attack aircraft attacked three positions in the countryside outside of the capital though it is not known how successful.
