A UNP freighter has been stopped just inside Clone Star Empire space said to be bound for Lornaca Melnig where an insurgency by the Lornacan Fighters and Free Lornaca has raged ever since the planet was invaded by the Clones.
The freighter is said to have been carrying small arms of NS manufacture as well as ammunition and military communication devices also of NS makes. However, all of the equipment was of older types no longer in widespread service with NS. The Clones have accused New Sparta of supplying the Lornacan insurgents.
NSIS Chief Boxman has denied the claims though said they will investigate how old NS equipment was on the ship. He said it was probably stolen during the MBO war from NS storage facilities by criminals.
