Former DDS Commander and current Vice-President (Technology) Knobhead has shocked New Sparta by abruptly resigning with immediate effect. Knobhead had been a critic of President Torus in the past, and a leader of the alternative faction, though he said this is not why he has decided to step down.
Knobhead said he was tired of his role and the growing corporatism of New Sparta, which has long predated the Torus regime he says. He will remain a reserve officer for NS with ship command credentials. It is thought he will join Sea Urchin in the UNP.
Dr Forbidden has taken temporary charge of Knobhead's former role, he is the front runner to be the permanent replacement. Torus has not made a public comment on the resignation.
