After a period of reflection Molab and the Free Eritran States has said it will remain an ally of New Sparta after the take over by the Mutre Bee Organisation. Molab has said to have been reassured by Viceroy Caratore who spoke to Molabite officials earlier this month. Caratore said that MBO-New Sparta would not interfere in Free Eritran State foreign affairs. This could mean the FES may begin to put pressure on the Clone Star Empire East.
Molab has also said it is preparing the final specification for it's Kalahati Tuul replacement. Molab has twenty ships which are due for replacement by the mid-2120s, the export Corkscrew is thought to be the front runner. If Molab go for a 1-to-1 replacement of the KTs then this could be the biggest export order in NS history.
Starbot is the only NS ally that has said it does not want to remain in the system. However, with the Molab / Free Eritran States decision Starbot is now isolated. One report states Starbot may decide to remain an ally after all.
