Despite their misgivings over Mutre Bee (who for a short time was Starbotian Commander), Starbot has said it will remain an NS ally. This is a great boost for MBO-New Sparta due to the strategic space near Starbot and the proximity to the 7 Sa Sao.
In truth Starbot had little choice following the decision of the other NS allies including the Free Eritran States to remain as it would have been isolated. Privately it is thought Caratore has agreed to keep the MBO involvement discreet on Starbot. For example, it is thought Mutre Bee will visit a number of NS allies when he comes to New Sparta next year though he will not visit Starbot.
