The Clone Army has begun disbanding three entire legions in order to save an estimated 750 million zarks a year. Despite budget problems the Clone Defence Forces have resisted cutting forces but now, with various upgrade and refurbishment programmes looming and a lack of cash to pay for them, the decision has been made to make some cuts. Despite the loss of three legions the Clone Army is still far larger than the NS Terrestrial Forces and even the Dino Army.
It is rumoured the Clone Air Force may also make cuts, including speeding up the withdrawal of most of the remaining K40 fighters without replacement.
